It's set to be a busy weekend for DJ Corbin Dooley and the local promotions group Phat Entertainment. On Friday, they help present an evening of independent hip-hop featuring 2Mex and the Smob headlining at Club Congress, 311 E. Congress St. 2Mex is a big deal in his native Los Angeles, a member of The Visionaries, who got his start as half of the hip-hop group OMD. The Smob consists of a hip-hop collective from Phoenix that has been touring with 2Mex throughout the West. The show begins at 10 p.m. and tickets are $5 in advance and $8 the day of the show; 622-8848. It will pave the way for Dooley and Phat Entertainment's bigger show, a Rialto concert Saturday night featuring the electro-funk pioneer Uberzone, pictured at right. Another Los Angeles native, Uberzone comes to town to promote his latest album, "Ideology." Doors for that show open at 8 p.m. Tickets are $16 in advance, $20 the day of the show before 9 p.m. and $25 after; 740-1000.

The Hut is more than halfway toward its goal of raising enough money to install a three-story tiki statue at its front entrance.

The head formerly belonged to Magic Carpet Golf, which closed in January.

The nightclub, at 305 N. Fourth Ave., has scheduled a concert this Sunday at 9:30 p.m. to raise money for the effort to transport and install the statue.

The lineup includes UpRooted, a reggae/rock band, and the Happy Ending Island Jams with Skitn's Chris Calvo. Admission is free, but there is a suggested $3 donation.

The Hut isn't the only party interested in buying a piece of Magic Carpet history.

At least four statues (including a spider, a haunted stump and a castle) are slated to move to the Valley of the Moon, 2544 E. Allen Road, once landscaping is completed later this year. The now-idle Moon is the former home of magician George Phar Legler and plays host to an annual Halloween children's play.
