Doing
it Alone
Dear
Anthony,
I will be moving to New York City in June to attend my NYU Summer
orientation.
I want to party at Kurfew but I will have to go alone since I
don't know anyone in the area. Is that OK? Is that seen in a negative
light?
Please give me your honest opinion.
Thanks.

Dear
NYU boy,
There is absolutely nothing wrong with going to Kurfew alone.
I go alone almost every week and no one has ever made me feel like
a loser for it. The Kurfew regulars are a fun and friendly crowd
and its very easy to make friends there. However, some people
don't feel comfortable going alone, and if thats the case there are
a couple of options. You can always go to the Kurfew chat room
on the Kurfew webpage. Peak hours are Sunday to Thursday 9:00
PM TO 10:00 PM, Friday 9:00 PM to ??? and Saturday 8:00 PM to midnight.
In this chatroom, you can talk to guys like yourself, many of whom
attend Kurfew regularly. This is a great way to find some friends
to show up with, or maybe even a date. Like any chat room, just remember
to be cautious as you never quite know who's really at the other end.
Another option is to volunteer to help out at the Message Board (a
great way to meet boys) or to help out at the gay pride parade by
emailing volunteer@kurfew.com.
These volunteer opportunities are an excellent way to make friends
with other young gay guys. If none of these options work, you
can always get in touch with me, I'm an NYU student also so I went
through the same sort of thing! Good Luck and we hope to see
you at Kurfew soon!!!
