We spent the better part of this week reviewing what has been an eventful year in music, food, politics, art, style, and the stadium. Beyond the reviews of all things 2005, here are the other stories you may have missed this week on DCist:

— We reviewed Wicked and Evita.

— An Adams Morgan institution was lost this week.

— The A.K.s, The Twats and TransAm visited Black Cat, while James Brown took the stage at the 9:30 Club.

— Has Clinton Portis gone a little batty?
