Description: Irys and Spyke plan an unconventional wedding. Candice and Toni hold and in-store book signing.

Tomorrow night’s episode of Portlandia features a hilarious clip of ¬Å“30 Rock¬Â star Jack McBrayer forgetting to bring his grocery bag to the SE Belmont Zupans. You can watch the video here on IFC.

From IFC: Portlandia is a wild and wonderful place with just a few little rules so that everyone can get along in peace and harmony with their friends and neighbors and, of course, Mother Earth. Rule No. 1: BYOB. While bringing your own beer is always good etiquette wherever you live, in Portlandia, BYOB means Bring Your Own Bag. Unfortunately, when ¬Å“30 Rock¬Â star Jack McBrayer stopped by ¬Å“Portlandia¬Â he didn't read the visitor's guide and forgot to bring his environmentally-friendly bag when he hit the local grocery store. Luckily, Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein are there to show him the ropes.
