Today is StreetPass Day! We have no idea if Nintendo of America is going to do anything so on our end this is going to be a nice gathering of friend's and newcomers for us to StreetPass and chat until our next meeting in mid-late July.
We should have a contest running by 2:00pm.
The Founder, Jordan White, has a passcode his Mii says at the StreetPass Mii Plaza Gate. Tell him this passcode and he will give you details on the rest of the contest.
Winner will get a StreetPass Network T-Shirt!
Come one, come all!

“We want to squash the image of the gamer as a overweight man alone in his apartment yelling obscenities while shooting virtual Nazis. Our aim is to show the world the positive side of gaming and how gaming can change the world, starting with this walk.”
An estimated 33 million people globally are infected with AIDS and are suffering from HIV.
