10 things I wanted to do, but didn’t, while visiting the real 30 Rock last night

•Sit in the guest chair of Conan O’Brien, whose Studio 6A was used for NBC’s Blogger Summit
•Sit in Conan’s chair; install the “Walker, Texas Ranger” lever; pull lever
•Ask NBC news officials leading the discussion if Conan’s infamous Bear or Manatee would be emerging from behind Conan’s curtain and/or delivering a speech
•Play Max Weinberg’s drums (poorly)
•Watch a tape of “The Rural Juror” in Liz Lemon’s office
•Take a non-blurry picture of WNBC’s news anchor desks down the hall, where food (but not alcohol) was served to ravenous bloggers
•Text my friends an up-to-the-minute forecast after deciphering Doppler 4000—it exists!
•At a nearby bar, talk for more than a minute with “Saturday Night Live” star Seth Meyers (who was very nice)
•At same nearby bar, manage to utter more than eight awkward words with fellow “SNL” star, Amy Poehler, a hero of mine. I got totally quiet and star-struck, which rarely happens to me, and couldn’t articulate complex phrases. And I call myself a reporter! Sad.
•Restart said encounter with Amy Poehler
What else could I have done in the confines of “30 Rock”? I need to start brainstorming now in the event I’m invited back next year.

You should have eaten the entire shrimp platter. That would’ve earned you some blogging stripes right there!
Hi Chris, it was great to meet you at the summit. Personally, I’d like to restart my brief encounter with Andy Samberg. Dagnabbit, I missed Amy Poehler! Love her!
