I'm a 27 year-old New York transplant (born here, nice to be back) looking for some cool comrades of any age to share/workshop with in a relaxed setting (my apt. has killer views!) with the record player turning and the libations flowing.

My girlfriend and I own 2 Pits and walk our neighbor hood often where we see many other dogs like ours. Since we all know the bully breeds have a "unique" way of playing together, we thought it would be fun for us Pit Lovers to meet up once a month to socialize. Both our Pitts and us!
