These days when most people here the words, “30 Rock” they think of Tina Fey and her TV show. So tonight I thought I’d take you on a real life tour of 30 Rock after dark. So it’s off we go.

I was hoping to get out of work a little early, but a bunch of shit happened towards the end of my shift and now it's around 11:30. I want to go to the observation deck which is called, "The Top of the Rock." It closes at midnight so hopefully we can get there for the last few minutes.

Fuck, a train just pulled off out of the station. That means a long wait, this doesn't look good.

But then about thirty seconds later a train pulls up, maybe our luck is turning around!

But just as the train takes off I realize I've boarded a downtown train. We need to go uptown to 30 Rock. Fuck! I'm a complete idiot! And this guy has his pant leg rolled up and is scratching his scabby leg. This night is not going well.

Shit, here we are at Washington Square. It's a ten minute walk from here to where I live. i'm half tempted just to go home, but I didn't go out last night, so I'll tough it out.

Okay, here's the uptown train. Hopefully this won't take long.

Well, we made it here fairly quickly and it's a little before midnight, maybe we can still make the Top of the Rock.

Fuck, it's closed.

Here's the back area of Thirty Rock. In the winter it's a skating rink.

In the summer it's a courtyard. Hey, there's a bar down there, I sure could use a beer right now, let's go.

Down the stairs...

And this woman told me that they were closing. I told her I was going to take a photo and she started running away. This night appears to be hexed. I think I know what needs to be done.

Taxi!

And back home to the beer fridge. It's a little pathetic compared to Britta's fridge from yesterday, but what are you going to do? And look, in addition to the Sol for Britta that Gene and Terry brought by, I've got an orphan can of Modela for Tom when they get here in a couple of weeks. Goodnight everybody and see you tomorrow after dark.
