Who Needs Snobby LA? The 'Other' Cable Show Harbors in Baltimore

Couldn't jet off to Tinseltown in May for the glitzy Cable Show to indulge in the endless bacchanalia of receptions, dinners and after-parties? Feeling like you missed all the action that went down at the Nokia Theater at L.A. Live? Regretting that you passed on the chance to frolic in Southern California's sunshine and dance the night away with a friend of a friend of a friend to Paris Hilton?

It turns out you're in luck because the "other" cable show has come to the region. Cable industry intrigue? Check. Near the water? Check. Plenty of sunshine? Check. Swank dinner parties and receptions in a Hollywood-like setting with lots of star wattage? Ok, the Independent Show in Baltimore probably can't deliver on that, but it does have one distinct advantage: it's less than hour's drive from D.C.

So who needs the star-studded Cable Show when there's the Independent Show, featuring a private party tonight at Camden Yards even though the Orioles will be in Toronto, and Tuesday's "luncheon with speaker."

To learn more about the event, being held today through Wednesday and sponsored by the American Cable Association and the National Cable Television Cooperative, click here.
