Our first update comes from my close, personal friend Ashley Hanley of Formula PR, who sends along the news that they're going to let kids talk into microphones at the ESPN Zone. Who's now? Your 12-year-old!
ESPN Zone and the Washington Nationals have teamed up to host the Junior Broadcaster competition, a search for the next generation of sports announcers. Children 12 and under will compete for the opportunity to work in the broadcast booth on September 2 during Nationals’ Kids Run the Show Day at RFK Stadium. On August 20, entrants are invited to ESPN Zone, located at 555 12th Street NW, where each will have the opportunity to showcase their sports-announcing chops. Two Junior Broadcasters will be selected at the end of the competition.
“Junior Broadcaster is about having fun and getting talented young sports fans onsite to give announcing a try,” said Leigh Friedman, ESPN Zone’s regional marketing manager. “However, for some ambitious individuals it’s more than that. It’s a competition and they come out to win. We’ll get entrants from all over the area and even outside the state, so we’re excited to see what kind of talent emerges as a result of this contest. Deciding on a winner will not be an easy task.”
Wow, a quote from ESPN Zone's infamously hard-to-reach regional marketing manager. Very impressive, Ashley, and we all look forward to hearing from you about the next event Formula PR has the honor of promoting by mass email. Or, more likely, the last event Formula had the honor of promoting, because I've got a bit of a backlog in my inbox.

Hey -- I'm here because I want to be here.
On the other hand, when I need PR solutions, the last thing I want is a formula. I want something tailorsculpted to me and my particular personal situation.
A PR company that thinks the word "formula" is good PR is not, in fact, good at PR.
I still read you on my own steam...! I actually asked about this once. I think the Formula PR people are ESPNZone's PR and not really related to/contracted by the Nats. Not to burst your bubble or anything and be all serious and stuff.
You know, I'm the kind of person who thinks that the cadaver synod is just the coolest story in Western history. That said, I think you could do it more justice here at Distinguished Senators than at the religion blog.
Think about it -- the story of Formosus as an allegory for . . . well, shit. I don't know exactly how the allegory would work. That's your job. But I do like the idea of a decomposing Bowden being tried for his sins, dismembered, and thossed into the Anacostia.
