What comes before Part B?

Academia in New York is like a torturous house arrest. Your favourite bands come through town in the summer to play free outdoor shows, your favourite authors do readings at the local bookstore, bars and galleries but on the funniest goddam events, but you can't go because you're supposed to be working, which means at the very least you have to stay home, even if it does just end up to be to watch reality tv and read gossip blogs.

Well, Friday has rolled around and we returners are itching to see each other and kick off the school year, so goddam it we are going out. But, sensibly, not before 10:00.

Ambitious enough to make hoisin salmon steaks and chili-roasted sweet potato wedges.
