This may be a short week, but it will be long on free fun as many summer series get under way. This week you can listen to music, learn about comics or watch a movie – without ever opening your wallet. Here are our favorite three free events this week; check out the Westword calendar for even more entertainment options.

The first in a series of ten weekly concerts kicks off in Boulder tonight, when you can get down to the funky, euphoric orchestra sounds of Euforquestra. The beer garden opens at 5:30 p.m., featuring brews from the West Flanders Brewing Company as well as wine and margaritas. Music begins at 6 p.m.
The Mother**ker in the Cape: Mutiny Comics Podcast
Mutiny Information Cafe

Whether you’re just a fan or an aspiring web-comic creator, you won’t want to miss this live podcast taping. Melanie Gillman, writer and artist of the award-winning web comic As the Crow Flies, and Jay Potts, creator of the Internet’s #1 Blaxploitation comic, World of Hurt, swing by Mutiny to discuss how they rose to the top of their field.
Theatre on the Green Presents The Wedding Singer
Founders Green Park

You know summer is almost here when you get to sit in a park and watch a movie. The outdoor cinematic season gets off to a good start with a classic 8’0s movie made in the ’90s: The Wedding Singer.
