Music in Columbia

It's been a little while since I left Columbia, SC, but here is how things wrapped up.
A few nights I went to eat in this area known as 5 Points. Its' the tourist area and pretty nice. The picture is of a fountain that is the center of this area.
Basically everything turned out very well with the installation. On the last night (4/25), I hung out in the downtown area (Vista) a little while, as oppose to just eating and running back the the NAC. The weather was nice and warm and it was just a relief to be finished.
I eat at a Cajun restaurant. The food was okay, but there was a bunch of people playing folk music. I always like live music, so I hung around for a couple hours. It wasn't so much of a band and just regulars and visitors coming into the place with their various instruments. There were about 14-15 people from time to time with a core of 7-8. On the way back to the bus, I stopped by this bar that a guy was playing some tunes on an acoustic guitar, that bas pretty good too. I stayed a little long, and just barely caught my bus. Overall a very good evening.
The next day I got a call from the Systems Manager about a problem system. I went and fixed it and he was happy. All of this combined to give me a very good review! No more money, but they like me.
