Thanks for stopping by our table! We are happy to have you join us! I totally understand your position, but for future signings…kids are not inebrated adults. They don’t quite pose the same threat. At that point in the night, there were two people behind us. We get it and I’m sure Duff appreciated your safety measures. But, it still would’ve gone miles for my kid to show his friends his cell phone. Just sayin’.
Anyway, we still think Atomic is a cool place and should be a definite stop to anyone visiting Baltimore!! It’s a one of a kind bookstore that offers a glimpse into true Baltimore culture!

We had a VERY long line of VERY excited fans (in various states of sobriety) and sometimes, in their excitement, people forget their boundaries. Believe it or not, the “gatekeeping” was necessary.

This was a signing for Charm City Cakes’ new book. As we estimated between 400-500 people coming through the door, some of them with strange ideas of what they’d like to Charm City Cakes to sign, we at Atomic felt it would work best to everyone’s benefit if me and another employee worked to keep the line moving, and to make sure no one person was holding things up for everyone else with strange requests and asking to sign things other than the book (although Duff did sign the Day in the Lyfe which was pretty cool).

Overall, I hope you and your son and friend had a great experience, and I’m sorry you found me off-putting.

Just incredible!

I had no idea what I wanted, and he just sat and sketched with me, and came up with a great idea for a beautiful cake. I’m glad your son got to meet him–he’s a great example of how a local guy (he went to UMBC and started cooking at Charleston) can live his dreams!

PS-it was great to meet you on Friday!

He was in the ‘Burgh 2 weekends ago, however I was unable to attend the event. Tell “Najay” to keep “shadowing” Dad in the kitchen, to keep dreaming (and make em big) and someday he too will be signing books and have a “gate keeper” of his very own!!!!
