Report: We were amazed at just how many people braved the snowstorm on December 30th. The snow prevented us from opening the mid-block doors so we used the main club doors as the entrance for the first time in Kurfew history. Despite the snow, the boys and girls steadily trickled in and before we realized there was quite a big party going on! Pictures of our pre-New Years event are on the pics page!

Some notable Kurfew "blasts from the past" were sighted at this reunion party of sorts, including former door boy Zach, drag princess Peppermint Gummybear (as voluptuous as ever!), and Karly Kani (jock turned drag queen...and now back to muscular jock!).

November 18th was our launch party for "Wolves of Kromer," a new film narrated by Boy George. The "Wolves" people, many who flew in from London, must have been having too much fun on November 18th, because they took a while to respond to our calls from the DJ booth. Eventually we were able to track down producer Will Gould (left) and co-writer Matthew Read (far laft). The duo helped call off the winning ticket numbers, and award the original wolf costumes used in the movie. The two winners are shown to the right, with Ms. Electra verifying the tickets by, yes, manual recount.

"Miss it at your own Peril!"



$1,000 in prizes in 3 ghoulish categories + the sights and sounds of Tremblin' Products. With special guest hostess Cleopatra!!!

Kurfew's HalloQueen party was most certainly THE place to be this Saturday, With one of the biggest Kurfew turnouts ever (the line snaked around the corner of the block!), and some of the most creative costumes yet, the real Halloween may as well have been on Saturday the 28th! Ginger Snaps, our guest drag hostess from Philadelphia, led the HalloQueen contest with our own Lady Q, and wowed the crowd with a Cleopatra getup than spanned nearly the width of the Kenny Scharf room itself! The judges included Ms. Electra, Angelique and Lady Q, with audience enthusiasm a core factor of the winning score. Click below to see the winners!

The boys at our 10/14 Underworld party were particularly cute, as were the girls. More importantly, the atmosphere was incredibly fun. We're seeing more and more visitors from other cities, which adds more diversity and energy to the night! The Underworld giveaways were a little more orderly than last week, with the drag queens handing them out to the best dancers and to polite (read, "non-grabbing") spectators on the Kurfew Kouches.

Another crowded night greeted our launch party for the Sony Picture Classics film "The Broken Hearts Club" this past Saturday, 10/7/00. We've been noticing a lot of "old-time" Kurfew patrons coming back to check out the new energy. We also bumped into a couple of well-known Hollywood movie directors who were in town and decided that Kurfew was the place to check out. Suffice to say that after visiting Kurfew they'll be making many more trips to New York City!
