It's been more than a week since Michael Jackson's passing -- and the tributes are still rolling in, including here in Fresno. Here are four Fresno MJ tributes that caught my eye:

1. Here's the Drag Kings, the Fresno Grizzlies' dancing groundskeepers, doing their best MJ impression over the weekend:

A little bit early, because I'm off tomorrow

1. DON'T GET TICKED: My big music pick of the weekend is Deer Tick, recently picked as the No. 1 breakout band at South By Southwest by Rolling Stone. They're also really, really good. You can see them at 9:30 p.m. Friday at The Cellar Door in Visalia for a mere $5. Here's a sample:

We got more news about The Big Fresno Fair's concert schedule -- which now includes Dwight Yoakam, Barenaked Ladies and a few more. (We're still most excited about MC Hammer!)

Tickets will go on sale starting at 9 a.m. July 15. There are still a few dates open and I'm holding out for at least name that will wow me. For now, Fresno, what do you think?

We already told you about the Spinners 20-year anniversary party tonight at Audie's -- and that's at the top of our list tonight. But if you're a 20-year-old looking for a party, you might consider the following all-ages shows:

Fresno businessman/Granite Park dreamer Kirk Vartanian was officially arraigned today on assault charges. The Bee's Craig Kohlruss snapped this picture of Vartanian, who looked none too happy to be there:

No offense to Craig, but I thought the photo could be livened up a bit, so I went over to Blingee.com and came up with this:
