Kurfew - America's Largest Young Gay Dance Party

The old Kurfew home page! Welcome to Stage 2 of Kurfew's upgraded web site! We've included a glimpse of our old home page for our regular visitors, just to reassure you that you're at the right place and to make you feel at home! As you check out the new site, if you see lingering elements of the old site that seem out of place, simply hit the RELOAD button on your browser so that it seeks out the updated info!

In just over a year, the Kurfew party in New York City has grown to become so popular that our site is being regularly accessed by thousands of young gays from cities and nations far beyond New York. And who can blame them? Where else in the nation (or in the world, for that matter) can you find a weekly gathering of 1,000+ of the cutest, friendliest young guys and girls united in celebrating at America's Largest Young Gay Dance Party? It's all happening at Kurfew's Saturday night party at the mid-block entrance of the Tunnel (27th Street between 11th and 12th Avenues).

Our plan to expand the party into several new cities over the coming year, has made it one of our priorities to develop this site into a much broader resource for young gay people across America...and for that matter, across the world. At Kurfew, we're not only giving young gay people a place that they can be comfortable, meet prospective dates, form relationships, and be affectionate with their boyfriends (or girlfriends), but we're showing the straight world just how fun and remarkably "normal" we are! With hundreds of straight guys and girls begging at our velvet ropes to get into our gay party every week, it's clear that the old, repressive stereotypes are rapidly burning out, and a new generation of open-minded, guys and girls are ready to rule a much more embracing world! The happy outcome of all of this is that many previously isolated young gay people have found a vibrant, welcoming and incredibly fun community that accepts them completely! Best of all, Kurfew is truly one of the wildest and funnest party to hit the city in years! And don't take our word for it...click here for some recent media coverage on the Kurfew party and testimonials from partygoers themselves!

Continue to forward your suggestions and comments for not only the Kurfew party, but the Kurfew web site as well. Our central email address is boys@kurfew.com. As you're looking around this site, if you ever need to get back to this home page, just look for the small Kurfew logo () and click on it!

Here's our "Picture of the Week." Like most of the thumbnail pics on this site, you can click on the picture for an enlarged version...because we know how much you love enlarged versions! These boys make it as "Picture of the Week" not only because they're cute, but because they were really great dancers, and also super friendly! Check our events page for more recent photos, and don't miss our pictures page for a whole ton of Kurfew photos! Since there are so many pictures on our site, we recommend that you close other programs and windows on your computer when touring the site. That will insure that you'll be able to load and view as many pictures as possible.

Well, what better way than hear it from the press and from people who attend the party regularly? You can also find out other useful tidbits on this web site...such as how to beat the long line (besides arriving with Madonna), where to submit your photo for our upcoming online message board, and what's the best thing to wear!

So what's coming to the site over the next few weeks? In addition to our weekly events listings, you'll soon find...

The Kurfew Message Board...we already have several hundred submissions, many with pictures. Most are from the New York metro area, though plenty are from young gay folks from other cities and countries. We're still working on finishing the technical aspects, but don't worry...we're almost there! If you haven't submitted your picture and bio yet, what are you waiting for? Click here to submit yours!

Young Gay News and Info...keep up with the latest information on HIV prevention, gay marriage, and other news critical to young gay Americans. If you have important information to submit, or want to contribute an original article, email us at news@kurfew.com.

Kurfew Pics...by now you may have seen some of our full-color flyers with pictures of Kurfew partygoers. We'll be including many more of the pictures that we take at the parties on the web site, and we'll also feature "Pictures of the Week" highlighting the gorgeous, the outrageous, the spontaneous and more!

Kurfew Chat Room...here's a great place to gather with other people and come together to Kurfew. This will be particularly great for those of you now traveling significant distances to get to Kurfew, and also for those who prefer to go to Kurfew with some new friends.

Jobs Listings...Initially, we'll start out with Kurfew jobs and internships, since we're seeking skilled administrative persons, as well as DJs, entertainers, singers/songwriters, drag queens, and brand new club characters and personas. Eventually, we'll include other job listings from third-party companies who offer positive working environments for gay people!

Ask Ambiguous Anthony...It takes an ambiguous guy to give you the straight answers, and that's why we've hired this popular student advisor/psychology major from NYU to tackle the array of questions that Kurfew receives from our young, gay friends on a daily basis. "There's this buff boy at the gym that I've got my eye on. What are the clues that he might be gay?" "When is the best time to tell my roommate that I'm gay?" "A long-time 'straight' roommate has asked to experiment with me...should I do it or will I regret it?" Anthony is ready and willing to tackle them all. Have a question you want answered on the page? Email anthony@kurfew.com.

Coming Out Stories...Being that Kurfew caters to a young crowd, typically between the ages of 18 and 32, we've had the opportunity to hear about hundreds of coming out stories, many of which happened at Kurfew itself. So, here's your chance to read about others, and also contribute your own great story!

Kurfew Junior Events...Since we enforce an 18+ policy at the party, many younger gays have been asking us, "What about us?" Here's where you'll find out about Kurfew-endorsed or supported events for younger gay teens.

Sports Page...Not! Unless events like Kurfew's underwear boxing party counts as sports.

Surveys...Does your gadar sound off for Tinky Winky? What age did you first come out? Where are your favorite spots to visit in the city (besides Kurfew, of course)? The Survey page will cover it all, and give you and the rest of the world, a snapshot of young gay opinions about the world around us.

The Kurfew Katalog...here's where you'll be able to get those Kurfew tee-shirts, tank tops and boxer briefs that you may have seen our super-hot models wearing at Kurfew's recent fashion show. You'll also find Kurfew memberships, as well as some third-party product offerings that we find particularly appropriate for the young gay community!

Well, that's it for now...check out the site and have fun. Then check back regularly for new items, pictures, events and updates. And remember to send us your suggestions and comments to boys@kurfew.com. If you're interested in becoming a contributor to the site (and even earn some cash or prizes for doing so) email us ASAP! The first 3 contributors whose submissions we use will each win 2 tickets to the gay, Off-Broadway play, Beautiful Thing!

We'll see you at KURFEW!
