A new sneak peek at this week’s new episode of Parks and Recreation has been unveiled by NBC. In it, Leslie Knope hits the campaign trail, and Tom Haverford’s start up, Entertainment 720, sponsors . . .

Before we get to that, there are a couple of Parks and Recreation updates to cover.

First, the October Pawnee newsletter is now available on-line. You can check that out here. It features notes from Leslie, Chris Traeger, and Andy Dwyer. Here’s a sample from Andy’s:

Hey everybody reading this newsletter, it’s Andy of Mouse Rat, live from the Parks Department! I’ve been Leslie’s assistant for a month and things have been awesome. Here’s what’s happened so far:

• The wife and I have found secret make-out spots. I can’t tell you them, but I’ll give you a hint for our favorite one. It rhymes with “blunder bron’s desk.” But that’s all you’re going to get out of me.

• Every so often, I notice Donna looking at me real intense with her eyes. I think I might have something in my teeth.

• I’m starting to understand what people are always saying about Jerry.

• Leslie asked me to “re-collate” her idea binders by year and then alphabetically by idea, which reminds me that I still need to figure out what that means and then do it.

This is the most kickass gig in the world.

Love,
Andy Radical

Also of interest is an Entertainment 720 website which has been launched. Entertainment Weekly hit the highlights, sampled below, but you can take a look for yourself here.

Top 5 Highlights
1. Bikini Top Swag: Though the company logo managed to make it on all kinds of stuff, the standout is definitely a bikini top with a graphic of Tom and John-Ralphio’s face. What? No matching bottoms?

2. Investor Information: They may be accelerating toward bankruptcy, but that’s not stopping the E720 team from dreaming big. The company projects to be making $48 billion by its fourth year, assuming of course, that the acquisition of Viacom works out.

And, finally, here’s the new preview. It’s the second to be released from the episode (the first of which was a sneak peek at Andy and April’s Halloween party).
