With such historic events as the Beijing Olympics, the global financial crisis and the U.S. presidential election, it would be an understatement to say 2008 was a big year. And while we can't predict what 2009 will bring, we can reflect on some of the year's most memorable moments—from the national stage to the local level. This week in Metromix, we review the best and worst of 2008, including pop-culture trends we'd like to leave behind, the highs and lows in movies and TV, style dos and don'ts, the booziest and juiciest nightlife drama, and much more.
And with New Year's around the corner, we've got a Dec. 31 party guide, a roundup of restaurants to heal your hangover on Jan. 1, and a list of six DJs to keep your eye (and ears) on in ’09. All this plus a special double edition of Metromix Your Week. Check it out in the print edition of Metromix, available free all over L.A., and online at metromix.com.
