Alt-scene: If you're also into football, the Pats/Cardinals game starts at 8. Visit somebody/someplace with better-than-basic cable -- in Rhode Island, it's only broadcasting on the NFL Network.

Then go to the art party.

Reason to watch: Maybe suddenly-signed Junior Seau will start. Four days after retiring in style from the San Diego Chargers, the linebacker signed with the Pats yesterday, a move that will reunite him with former charger Rodney Harrison.

San Diego fans are grumbling, but the 12-time Pro Bowler and likely Hall of Famer could be a very good move for the young Pats.

Update: An emailer wants to point out that Miami cut Seau after three seasons there. This is in the links, but if you also need to see it here, here it is.

Mp3s of second Chafee-Laffey debate: WPRO has posted audio -- four mp3 files -- of the second debate, on Aug. 17, between incumbent Sen. Lincoln Chafee and his challenger in the upcoming Republican primary, Cranston Mayor Stephen Laffey. (The station hosted the debate Thursday from 5 to 6 p.m. during the Dan Yorke show).
