The Paley Center for Media Celebrates the FIFA World Cup!

I kind of don’t get what all the fuss is over The World Cup.  I mean, it’s…soccer, right?  Soccer, guys.

However even I am excited to learn that  the amazing Paley Center for Media will allow viewers to watch live feeds of the games FREE EVERYDAY.  Through partnerships with ESPN and ABC, the Paley Center will be screening many of the games LIVE and be a meeting place where fans can gather and watch together. All screenings will take place 9:30 am and 2:00 pm EST 7 days a week starting June 11, and they’ll also be showing the final matches ending July 11.

World Cup fans can also attend screenings of Africa- and soccer-themed programming from the Paley Center Collection, including episodes of The Team Kenya, produced by the nonprofit Search for Common Ground, to promote soccer as a conduit to understanding and conflict resolution, and films submitted by the African Film Festival.

As a special bonus  free passes to the amazing collection at the Paley Center library are available to those who mention seeing this post on Broke-Ass Stuart’s Goddamn Website.

Like most kids, Ashley grew up in New Jersey. Unlike most kids the Friedman's televison set acted as a third parent, imbuing young Ashley with the stern moral values of Claire Huxtable, the dramatic tendencies of Brenda Walsh and the earnest hopefulness of the blond kid on Silver Spoons. After graduating from Sarah Lawrence Ashley made her way to the Park Slope area of Brooklyn where she can currently be found reading foreign fashion magazines, scouring ebay for vintage heels, eating out in restaurants and otherwise stretching her meager income as far as it will go in NYC.
