    The upcoming Unicon convention in Las Vegas looks to be full excitement for all attending, and Nightwings81, author of the fun and informative travel blog, http://www.travelswithdashie.com/, wants to take it a step further.
    With the help of her fellow bronies, Nightwings81 and her brave Rainbow Dash brushable, plan to attempt a sonic rainboom from the Stratosphere Tower Skyjump. This freefall/zipline will send them plummeting 108 stories (over 800 feet) to the Strip below.
    Nightwings81 needs donations for this momentous leap and will accept any and all at her booth in the vendor’s room at Unicon. With these donations, she will provide video and pictures to the con and Equestria Daily and write of her experience on travelswithdashie.com/. The first fifty donators who give $3.00 or more will also receive a special gift.
    If you are attending Unicon on Feb 21-23, stop by Nightwing Accents, and help Nightwings81 and Dashie perform the My Little Pony stunt of a lifetime!
