@MeloMan The next StreetPass Mii'top is July 26th at the Clinton Macomb Public Library! Find StreetPass Metro Detroit on Facebook for more Information!
@onery so Facebook is a good tool to find friends and communities to advertise. Like 3DS Communities, Gaming Communities and the like are leveraged for advertising. As far as managing the event, while Facebook is unreliable, it does offer people a permanent place to get the information. Also reddit has a good StreetPass community!
@Windy It might be easier for me since I had several people close to me help with this endeavor on top of the Nintendo Rep and some of my contacts at local GameStops and other types of communities including MTG, Cosplay, D&D, Anime Clubs, and Conventions alike. All of those are perfect cross communities and events for StreetPass like gigs! Considering Comic Cons and Anime Conventions people already bring their 3DS systems with them, holding a panel or a gaming room off to the side is always a good time. Did something similar at an event in Chicago and in Detroit.
@technotaylor98 Not complicated at all, if you read the bold text you can basically go off of those and make an event. Technically if you have 5 people who have 3DS systems in a room you are technically having a StreetPass event.
@Windy StreetPass could indeed lead to something creepy, but whos to say that online interactions couldn't do the same thing. It all depends on who runs it. I make sure that every single one of my attendees feels safe, and to the best of my abilities host the events in a location that is public location that is easy to find. I have not run into any problems with patrons as of yet, but that is not to say it can't happen. It doesn't encourage going up to random strangers and asking them if they have a 3DS it encourages people to bring their friends who are known and trusted. If that is the impression you got from what StreetPass events are, you might have never been to one. New York, L.A, Tokyo, and many other major cities have established communities like this with a team of trusted individuals. It all comes down to WHO is running it, and what their goals are.
