 <\/p>\n

So maybe your idea of a \u201crelaxing day on the beach\u201d is better spent inside with the air conditioning going. That\u2019s okay! There are plenty of things to do while still capturing the essence of the waves, the sun, and the smell of salt in the air. Seashell necklaces, beautiful paintings, and sketches of ponies strolling by as the coolness of the water beckons them forth.<\/p>\n

Our next guest of honor is IDW Comic Illustrator and Writer Brenda Hickey<\/a>! Brenda last joined us at Whinny City back in 2018, and we\u2019re honored to have her return for our Tropical Getaway!<\/p>\n

Outside of her work on the MLP G4 comics, Brenda has been involved in a variety of other comics, including her webcomic In The Air, Ary\u2019s 24 Hours: A Quack in the Night, Aggretsuko, and more\u2014some of which are available to read over on her website: https:\/\/brendahickeycomics.yolasite.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Want to come and see Brenda Hickey and AJ Bridel at our Tropical Getaway? Hop on over to our website and register today<\/a>\u2014weekend badges are still at the low price of $60. Don\u2019t wait too long, though; on the 21st of May, that price will jump up to the at-the-door rate of $75!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
