Marvel.com continues their series of interviews with famous folks who like comics by chatting with Scott Porter from the show Friday Night Lights:
With the new season about to begin and all eyes on “Friday Night Lights” in its new time slot, Porter’s schedule keeps him busy…but never too busy for comics! “Our shoot schedule on ‘Friday Night Lights’ is a lot more hectic then your regular program,” Porter explains to Marvel.Com. “We move at a pace that few other series can, simply because we have three handheld cameras, at least, for every shot. There are no rehearsals, no marks and a ton of improv. Most shows are allowed eight to 10 days to shoot an episode, whereas we are given six, then we move on. That being said, I try to get to my shop, Bee Cave Comics and Games here in Austin, every Wednesday. I pick up my books and head to Rudy’s BBQ and eat and read. It’s a great time to decompress. If I’m way too busy on a Wednesday, we always have weekends off, so I’ll pick them up then.”
Ah man, Rudy’s is awesome … not as good as Angelo’s in Fort Worth, but still …

I can’t imagine eating BBQ while reading comics. my comics would be as greasy and saucy as the plate it comes on! maybe it’s one of those Texas things…(says the guy from Michigan)

No, I’m actually a displaced Texan living in California … so I miss Texas BBQ.

I love the fact that he has a Wednesday routine. Anyone else have one? I know that since I have to drive a half an hour into the city I usually have a routine of getting my comics and then going someplace for something to eat and a couple of beers. I love sitting in a bar drinking a Manny’s Pale Ale and reading some comics. Good times, good times.
