Augmented chords are cool and fun!

They're great when playing chord melody type things, and as stated above, great for blues and R&B type things. A good little turn around is to start w/the C7 shape on the V, and then split the bar by resolving on the Caug for the last two beats. Creates a nice little tension that you resolve by starting out your progression from the I.
