Ok, big news, guys! I’m quitting my job to pursue my true passion – Go Go Dance Contest Judging.
Ok, that’s not true, but on Tuesday night, when most normal 9-to-5-ers were already asleep….
…I headed out to judge the So You Think You Can Go Go contest at local spot – Whiskey River.
Instead of getting ready for bed, I got ready to go out and got to Whiskey River at an “early” 10:30pm. Contest start time – midnight. I met up with friends Erica and Gina who were also judges in the contest.
Even though the contest didn’t start for awhile, we passed the time by enjoying the tunes being spun by the very talented DJ Row$hay. Did you know at one point in time, I wanted to learn how to be a DJ? Yes, chalk that one up to my college years. I never actually started learning or buying equipment, but I really wanted to! Hey, maybe one day? 
Anywho, once midnight hit, it was time for some go-go dancing!
First up – 6 contestants went through a semi-final round. Their outfits were killer (and kind of reminded me of my Lady Gaga concert outfit…lol)
The crowd narrowed the group from 6 to 3.
After the semi-final round was complete, we were entertained with a choreographed dance by a local dance group.
Here’s where we came into the picture. We selected the winner out of the 3 remaining contestants.
We ended up picking the only boy in the contest as the winner. He had the loudest crowd response. On top of that, he did a freakin back handspring into a split…in cowboy boots! A-Mazing!
Of course, if you’re going to go out like a college student, you have to go ALL out. We hit up local pizza spot Libretto’s for late night snack #1 – pizzzzzzzzaaaaaa.
And then a smaller group made it to Amelie’s for French Macaroons. Nothing like a macaroon (pistachio with mixed berry cream) in the middle of the night, eh?
Reader question: What’s your late night snack of choice? In college, I typically stuck with anything deep fried – cheese sticks, french fries, corn fritters, whatever! lol

welllll I am currently eating my second bowl of dark chocolate granola, but I would definitely never say no to an Amelie’s salted caramel brownie!
i’m weird, i cant eat after 11 pm.
haha! what an awesome night out!
I had to check out your post when I saw the title. I was up that late, but not doing anything super cool just blogging!
I would say my snack of choice was definitely gyros and pizza! so glad not to be doing that anymore it definitely makes the morning after that much worse!
How fun to be a judge in a dance contest! Looks like a great night!
That looks like so much fun! I still want to go dancing with you.
Yes! We need to hit the town some time!
My late night snack of choice is either a soft pretzel with mustard or a bowl of cereal!
There is a new bar in town that actually sells giant soft pretzels. I’ve managed to resist so far, but one of these times, I’m going to dig right into one…even if it’s after midnight! lol
Omg, that looks like so much fun! I made home-made kettle corn as an evening snack last night and it totally hit the spot!
so fun! I don’t know how you stayed awake—I would’ve been sleeping through the dances
My fave/irresistible late night snack? CANDY!
my favorite late night snack is dunkin donuts! lol. or something from 7-eleven.
Ooh…nothing like a midnight donut!
I don’t really like super heavy late-night eats, since my stomach usually can’t handle that. But I love ice cream and cool CEREAL and MILK
Btw, I love that, even when married, you still go out at night and have a BLAST!
Aww thanks Liv!
