But before you forswear your hedonistic existence, we suggest spending one final, decadent night devoted to debauchery. So we've created a select list of phat fetes and other bomb-ass bashes — from block parties to rock parties — that will be happening all across the PHX on Monday, December 31 (unless otherwise specified). So whether you're sucking down Mont Blanc with the Valley's elite, kicking it with some hip-hop homies over some spliffs, or macking on some top-shelf trim in Scottsdale, make it an experience you'll be remember well into 2008 (and not just 'cause Dirty Scottsdale's got a pic of you passed out in a parking lot).
