Rob Incollingo (’10)/ Eastside Editor In Chief
Rob fancies himself somewhat of an anachronism, cultivating a borderline obsession with the Edwardian era, in addition to an appreciable appreciation of classic literature. He enjoys industrial metal of both the German and American varieties, supporting his text addiction and trying feverishly to get into college.
Amanda Michelson (’10)/ Eastside Editor-In-Chief
Amanda’s favorite place in the world is the beach. When doing homework, she works best when her cat snuggles up next to her. Her favorite color is purple. From her Spanish education program to Penn State summer study, she has had amazing summer experiences. Amanda loves attending Layout Day for Eastside and will miss it very much when she goes to college next year!
Sari Soffer (’10)/ Eastside Editor-in-Chief
Sari has a major sweet tooth, which is semi-ironic because her dad is a dentist. She would be most happy living in a candy store with no homework and a “Friends” DVD playing over and over again.
Devon Braunstein (’10)/ Eastside Managing Editor
Devon’s bio is coming soon. She is too busy working on homework.
Max Cohen (’12)/ Eastside Online Sports Editor
Max’s passions in life are sports and “Jersey Girl”. If one were to make a pie chart the things Max does in his life, the results would be: 50 percent watching sports, 25 percent watching chick flicks, 15 percent sleeping and 25 percent listening to rap music, especially Soulja Boy. Other than eastside-online, Max’s favorite website is colehamelsfacts.com and Max is still trying to figure out how Pangea separated because of Cole. If you have any scientific explanation for this phenomena, please find Max.
Hailey Edelstein (’12)/ Eastside Online News Editor
Hailey loves the weekends more than anything. Her favorite season is winter (probably because her birthday is in January) and she doesn’t think she could live without snow. She loves listening to music, anything besides classical or country. Her favorite colors are dark purple and lime green.
Shelly Tan (’10)/ Eastside Video Editor
Shelly Tan has many nicknames, ranging from the informative (Shelly-the-Canadian), the descriptive (Shelly-not-so-tan), to the odd (Shelelelelolololo). Shelly currently suffers from a condition called ‘toomanycanadianjokesitus,’ and is known to snap out with sarcasm if confronted with jokes involving maple syrup or hockey. You have been warned.

She loves watching movies, eating, sleeping and reading (specifically Harry Potter).
Nicolle Rochino (’10)/ Eastside Art Director
Nicolle likes doodling on random scraps of paper (see the back pages of her notebooks). When not drawing in her free time, she still likes to watch re-runs of “Gilmore Girls” and childhood cartoons. She also admits to watching “Criminal Minds,” which no one else watches for some strange reason. Also, for some other strange reason, she really likes the movie Darjeeling Limited.
Sally Yang (’11)/ Eastside Art Director
Sally Yang, an insomniac, prides herself on her Korean heritage. In addition to being Art Director, Sally is co-chair of Multi-Cultural Day, active in FOP, and she idolizes Helen Hu. Sally gets a perm for the winter, resulting in minimal change in the curl of her hair.
Alex Feldman (’11)/ Eastside Business Manager
Never go out to lunch with Alex because he likes to chew with his mouth open, then talk and laugh while food is in his mouth. Oh, and watch out for cold season because he has trouble controlling his sneezes. Despite these minor character flaws, Alex is decent person. He is technologically savvy and most definitely is a Mac. Most importantly, Alex is a sweetheart: he is friendly, social and generally always has a smile on his face. He also loves making money… for Eastside.
Somya Mawrie (’10)/ Eastside Business Manager
Avra Bossov (’11)/ Eastside News/Features Editor
According to Keirsey Temperament Sorter (KTS), Avra is a Provider Guardian. For further explanation, go to… http://www.keirsey.com/handler.aspx?s=keirsey&f=fourtemps&tab=2&c=provider. Surprisingly, this personality test is accurate, since Avra is Junior Class President and an EIC of Demogorgon, East’s literary magazine. Clad in tie dye, Avra can usually be found multi-tasking.

Mike Davis (’10)/ Eastside Sports Editor
Mike, also known as Mr. Bow, enjoys spending his free time at Color Me Mine, where he paints and sculpts pottery like its his job. His favorite song is Hotel Room Service by Pitbull, which he listens to once a week when he buys a room at the local Holiday Inn. He also has an extreme fear of heights, which explains why he has scheduled all of his classes on the first floor of East. Also, do not confuse Mike Davis with the other Mike Davis who attends East. Perhaps Mike’s best accomplishment is his invention of the word “bow,” which is now commonly used throughout East, and the South Jersey community.
Bow…..
Nate Mulberg (’10)/ Eastside Sports Editor
Nate the great has been called the human vacuum of the infield. When it comes to eating shrimp, this applies as well. He is very involoved in World of Warcraft. His favorite word is the one his great friend and co-editor Mike Davis, created, “BOW.” His favorite high school moment is when he received a hug from Mrs. Carpenter, which is chronicled in a picture on his facebook.

Julie spends her days ardently supporting her best friend Abby, aka her dog. They tell eachother everything. She loves chocolate with her daily ritual of eating a chocolate chip cookie and drinking a carton of Horizon organic chocolate milk.
Laura Kane (’11)/ Eastside Community Editors
Laura really likes sleeping in and cold weather. She goes on PostSecret religiously and would rather be listening to music than doing anything else. Flowers make her happy and poems make her happier.

Andrew is a devoted fan of actresses Whoopi Goldberg and Sally Field. When not working for Eastside, he peruses the world of online news and watches talk shows (the classy kind). Andrew is not the stereotypical blond, although he sometimes has trouble spelling things correctly. Laughter is an integral part of him, and exuding funny is his job. Andrew likes apple pie, blank word documents, and the mysterious ways of inspiration. As the Humor Editor of the 09-10 year, Andrew will make you laugh… or he’ll laugh enough for everyone.
Zach Schwartz (’10)/ Eastside Humor Editor
Zachary Schwartz is a computer used for keeping a steady output of Humor stories, accidentally flung backwards through time from the future during a lab experiment gone horribly wrong. He spends his time producing mediocre humor stories as his programming demands while wishing he was capable of the human emotion called “love.”
Jason Cominetto (’10)/ Eastside Underground Editor
Jason is editor of the Underground section of Eastside for the second year in a row. He loves metal music and loves going to shows, on top of playing bass guitar, playing video games, and reading horror novels and comic books. He hosts a metal radio show on Eastside-Online, and co-hosts a comic book radio show for the same site, and writes album reviews and band interviews for numerous other websites. He is an entrepreneur, the voice a generation, and one day you will see him reign supreme over the world as you know it. He’s also just a really neat guy.

Nupur Mital (’11)/ Eastside Editorial Assistant
Nupur is actually a cat..
Elana Perilstein (’10)/ Eastside Editorial Assistant
Elana enjoys trees, butterflies and flowers; especially sunflowers. Maybe that’s why her middle name is “rose” and her first name means
“tree”. The “peril” part will never make sense..
Dillon Rosenblatt (’11)/ Eastside Editorial Assistant
Dillon has an obsession over Arrested Development, New York Yankees, St. Louis Rams, Kobe Bryant, cable television, filling his DVR up with multiple different shows on a daily basis, late night talk shows (especially Craig Ferguson), SNL Digital Shorts, Coen Brother movies, Judd Apatow comedies, and you can always find him quoting Arrested Development, Tropic Thunder, Step Brothers and every movie with Paul Rudd all the time.
