A mini ruckus is born!
Huge congrats to Brad Dring of Rapture Ruckus and his wife Mel on the birth of little baby Roman William Dring!!! I really want this kid to become the new hype-man for Rapture Ruckus - or at least I want pictures of him in his Dad's awesome shades and blinged out cap.
Make it happen.
