Well, let's start with a couple questions:
1. Where are you?
2. Have you played before.
Now, to anwser the questions I can:
I have always felt there is no real advantage (save for the extra life) to playing warrior if you don't have any armor given the weapons you want to use. You can't really make armor without money or recources, so my recomendation is to play assassin. You will have to ditch the shield till 5th level, and the sword will have to be a max length of 48 inches, but in exchange for that you get access to thrown weapons right off the bat. You don't have to call yourself an assassin, you can call yourself whatever you want, so long as you meet the garb requirement of the mask and the sash, so your styling yourself after a general swordsman would work just fine.
The best core for a sword of that length, provided you can't find a golf club shaft, would be fiberglass kite spar. You can get it at most kite stroes or online at www.intothewind.com. I don't remember what diamater you are going to want, but for that length probably somthing pretty thick. It's much more expensive than PVC, but it's lighter, stronger, and at that length it bends much less. As a note, useing wood or metal as a core is not allowed, so a dowl rod inside of a piece of PVC would be a no no.
Events are gatherings usualy 1-5 days long. Whom you'd need to talk to and what you would need to bring would vary from event to event, but generaly events involve camping so things like a teant, food, and a sleeping bag are a good idea.
