Author Talk with Mike Rucker, Ph.D.: “The Fun Habit”
Greenfield Public Library 412 Main St, Greenfield, MA, United StatesPlease join us online for an afternoon of fun on Wednesday, June 7 at 4 pm with Mike Rucker, Ph. D.,as he discusses "The Fun Habit: How the Disciplined Pursuit of Joy and Wonder Can Change Your Life". Doesn’t it seem that the more we seek happiness, the more elusive it becomes? There is an easy fix, hiding in plain sight. Fun is an action you can take here and now, practically anywhere, anytime. Through research and science, we know fun is enormously beneficial to our physical and psychological well-being, yet fun’s absence from our modern lives is striking. The Fun Habit is the ultimate guide to reap fun's profound benefits. Grounded in current research, accessible science, and practical recommendations, Dr. Rucker will use The Fun Habit strategies to teach you how to build having fun into an actionable and effortless habit and why doing so will help you become a healthier, more joyful, more productive person.

Jeanines / Luxor Rentals / OOF
10 Fiske Ave 10 Fiske Avenue, Greenfield, MA, United StatesCome out for a night of indiepop, indie rock/psychedelia, and post-punk! Jeanines specialize in ultra-short bursts of energetic but melancholy minor-key pop. With influences that run deep into the most crucial tributaries of DIY pop, they've crafted a style that is as individual as it is just plain pleasurable. Alicia Jeanine's pure, unaffected voice muses wistfully on the illusions of time, while My Teenage Stride/Mick Trouble mastermind Jed Smith's frantic Motown-esque drumming and inventive bass playing provide a thrilling rhythmic foundation. Luxor Rentals make loose, jangling psychedelia formed around each member's own ideas about what rock music actually rocks (Poco/early Verve/Curt Boettcher/The Church/VU are frequently discussed). Their bunker is in Orange, MA, but they can be found playing sporadically around the Pioneer Valley. OOF is a post-punk trio of baritone sax/guitar/drums featuring former members of Rathaus, Pelvi$$, The Duke of Uke & His Novelty Orchestra, and Famous Logs in History. Their most recent tape, ""What's Bad is Good,"" is out now from Fuzzy Warbles Cassettes. They live in Brooklyn and Amsterdam, NY.
