You might have missed this at WWdN if you skipped the comments (I usually do), but I wanted to see what names I recognized in the comments (Badblood and CJ, for instance), and noticed there’s a link to his audioblog entry briefly recounting Day 1.

Sounds like a damn good time.

Not to mention the fact that he hung out with Lee Jones and had dinner the night before with Greg Raymer, which made me think, “Wil’s not a regular guy after all.”

This, of course, is a testament to the openness of his storytelling and daily blogging. When you first read WWdN, you think, “Hey, this guy who was a Star Trek actor sounds like a regular guy. In fact, he’s got pretty cool taste in music and I like his politics.” Okay, so maybe the second sentence only applies to me. Still, you get the picture. WWdN rounds out the idea that is Wil Wheaton with all the mundane details that make him real (somewhat similar to the detailed scar makeup Wil got on the set of CSI–those details you don’t see make the whole more believable). So when these actor/celebrity things pop into the frame every so often, they sometimes seem out of place to me.

Though I have no idea why hanging out with poker players seems more out of place than being in a tv show or hanging out with some celebrity somewhere.

Anyway, regular guy or no, I hope he makes the final table. That’d make for some rad stories.
