Wine, Music, Wings, and Pets

Here's my quick run-down of things to do in Columbia this weekend (and early next week):

Thursday, April 8th: Print out and take this Project Pet newsletter to Cellar on Greene between 5 and 7 pm to participate in a wine tasting for only $5. (The tasting is typically $10, but with the newsletter you get the discount and proceeds go to Project Pet). Love drinking for a cause :) And tell the folks at Cellar you read about it on Au Courant Columbia!

After the wine tasting you can head to 5 Points to hear Coolie G with Joal Rush & the Wares, Remedy at the 5 after 5 concert. Starts at 6:30. (Or, if you'd rather, head to The Vista to hear The Shakers at Vista After 5; starts at 5 pm).

Sunday, April 11th: Skip down to Main Street for the 2nd annual Capital City Music & Wing Fling. Tickets are $5 in advance and there will be tons of awesome music and wings; gates open at noon and event lasts until 7 pm. Town Mountain (swoon!) is playing at 2:55 pm, and there will also be music inside The White Mule. Wing vendors include Village Idiot, Wings & Ale, Sly Fox and many more.
Monday, April 12th: Go eat at Carolina Ale House in Harbison between 6-9 pm, and print and take this card with you to give to your server. 10% of your meal cost will go to help the SC Humane Society.


Tuesday, April 13th: And, if you would like to take the animal thing a step further and actually dine with your dog, then make a reservation for you and your pooch at Solstice for Tuesday night at 7 pm. You order from Solstice's awesome menu, and your dog gets a gourmet 3-course meal from Pupcakes. Call (803)461-0236 to make a reservation. Cost is $12 for your dog.

What are your weekend plans?

Town Mountain at The White Mule

After my husband and I attend a wedding this Saturday, January 23rd, we will be heading to The White Mule for the late show featuring Town Mountain w/ Applesauce. This will be my aforementioned and promised first trip to The White Mule, and I am so excited!

The late show starts at 9:30 and is $6 in advance or $8 at the door; the early show, which features Dylan Sneed w/ Austin Crane, starts at 7:00 pm and is $5 at the door.

Town Mountain is amazing--bassist Barrett Smith is a native Columbian and went to high school with me--(he's very easy on the eyes as well as the ears)--and he is also a super-nice guy. The group is based out of Asheville, NC, but has gotten national acclaim while touring and playing numerous festivals and winning awards across the country.
