Steve, As a "citizen's journalist" you should be able to get in to conventions under most press pases. The best thing to do is to contact the person in charge of dealing with press and ask if they extend press passes to video-podcasters/videobloggers. If so, they will probably want proof that you are who you say you are, so ask them what sort of credentials/documents they would like you to bring upon registration.
Communication is always the key... most of the people at these conventions just want free promotion, so they would be happy to accept new mediums of communication. Just be professional and ask questions to clarify what you need to get in.
