From a 2003 Renegades newsletter: Behind the Shades: Rich Skare In this edition of Behind the Shades, we profile Rich Skare, contra player, hype master and one of the most popular members of the Renegades.

Heh. With Saturday night's SCV Cadets show happening about 10 minutes from my house, the party is most certainly ON!
