For those of you who love watching the Portland mentality get skewered by Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein on IFC's "Portlandia," prepare to get as good as you give -- the show is headed to Los Angeles in Season 2.

The Huffington Post reports that two characters will take a road trip to our fair metropolis this season, which premieres on January 6:

Two Portlandians hop a car headed south and end up in the city full of sunlight, multiethnic chain restaurants and laser-filled shot bars, much to their shock and disapproval.

Both Armisen and Brownstein seem to have strong opinions about LA already, although fortunately they don't appear to be of the New York Times variety:

"I feel like I am very adverse to the sun, I don't like the sun at all," said Armisen. "When I go to LA -- I like LA, by the way -- I love being in the car, I don't like being in the sun. Man, that sun is bright."

"Fred and I both like to layer," said Brownstein. "I don't know what to do if I'm not wearing three versions of a shirt, sweater, jacket. In the summer you have to be in the least amount of clothing ever. It's hysterically uncomfortable."

"I like shoes," Fred added. "Real footwear. LA is like: Converse or sandals."
