The UN Posse

The UN Posse - pr. n. A local ska band from New Rochelle composed of Brian Gabel (vocals), Sebastien Feuga (guitar), Case Peters (Trumpet), Michael Grogan (Lead Trumpet), Sheri Aronowitz (Saxophone), Jeremy Orenstein (drums), Ben Orenstein (bass guitar), Athena Lo (Trombone), Alex Miller (Keyboards) and David Harary (Tenor Saxophone and Bass Clarinet). Previous members who eventually quit include Matt Baum (Alto & Tenor Saxophone) and Sam Weiller (Alto & Baritone sax). The band was formed by the initial quartet of Case Peters, Seb Feuga, Ben & Jeremy Orenstein. Soon, the band looked to expand its horn section and recruited David Harary on bass clarinet (until they could get their hands on a Baritone saxophone), Michael Grogan on trumpet, and Matt Baum, who joined shortly after he witnessed their awesomeness at their first show, a Battle of the Bands at Harbor Island in Mamaroneck, in which they ended up winning first place and a handful of new fans. The UN Posse continued to play shows throughout the year 07-08 - some of their favorite gigs include Don Hill's in the city, Cafe at NRHS, and street shows in front of the Habitat for Humanity store on Main St. in New Rochelle. Their most popular tracks include:

Possibility Advocate

A "Possibility Advocate" is an impartial servant of the people, a servant of the dreamer. They help humanity to transcend limitations both internally, and externally. They defend and encourage their own dreams, as well as the dreams, hopes, and aspirations of their family, friends, strangers, and humanity. Possibility Advocate uncover reasons why success is possible; why our ideas will work, and succeed, rather than why they will not. Rather than play the role of the Devil's Advocate, they Advocate Possibility, Hope & Encourage Bold Action.

Are you willing to be a Possibility Advocate?
If it were not for the support and encouragement of the Possibility Advocates in my life, I would have never had the courage to follow my heart and fulfill my lifelong dream of writing my first novel. From this day forward, I too will assume the role of a Possibility Advocate whenever my friends and family members come to me with ideas of their own.

Bitch Posse Wannabe Clan

Originally a group of five females of Dutch origin, known for a prudish, 'all your base are belong to us' attitude. However, they mercilessly follow any and all trends they deem to be 'cool' and will do anything to be 'popular'. Their attitude belies an extremely slutty character, making them look even sadder when the truth does break the surface. They are the sworn mortal enemies of the Streetwise Crew. Members of the Clan are often referred to as 'Bitches' (emphasis on the capital letter).
In daily usage, 'bitch posse wannabe clan' can be used to denote any group of individuals who share personality traits with the original BPWC.
CK: "Yo, Smokey, how's the BPWC diss comin'?"
Smokey: "Almost finished... those Bitches won't know what hit 'em when this shit hits the market"
