Last Saturday was the 9th annual Fluke show in Athens, GA and the Dollar Bin folks were there keeping it real.  This year Adam and Shawn took their Fluke attendence to the next level by actually participating as sellers with a table and everything.  Brian was there too grazing through the fields of mini-comics (Let’s be honest that’s what Adam was doing too while Shawn was doing all of the work).  So let’s listen in as Brian and Adam get to have all the fun.
