Sense 99
Looking for an audience other than family and friends? Look no further than Sense 99: A “secret” hangout for musicians to mingle, jam and perform. They prefer to keep things on the DL because the secret is out and they’re getting more crowded—but its doors remain open to members of the public. Sense 99 features monthly art exhibitions, and this summer, it’ll be hosting a series of workshops by a group of homeschooling parents.
Fri and Sat, 8pm-late. 2-3/F, 99F Wellington St., Central, 9466-4695, www.facebook.com/sense99f
