Greetings from Melbourne, Australia!
by Clayton Fletcher on Jan.20, 2010, under poker
Well, I have arrived in Melbourne for the 2010 Aussie Millions. I got here early because I wanted to get used to the time difference before I play in the Main Event. I have ZERO jetlag because I slept for ten hours on my flight. Thank you, Ambien!
I am excited for my friend Lee Jones to arrive because as of now I do not know anyone. It is not difficult to make friends, though, as Aussies are very friendly.
The poker action is fast and furious downstairs and the weather outside is absolutely perfect. I can’t decide whether to take a walk along the Yarra River in the sun or get back to work in the casino. I am leaning toward a quick walk to Melbourne Park to check out some Australian Open tennis action.
This trip is off to a great start. The Main Event begins on Sunday. I will be updating all of my progress on www.twitter.com/claytoncomic
I will blog some more later. For now, Go Andy Roddick!
