Just send in the story to thisonetime@nintendoboy.com with you name (optional) and a picture (also optional) and I will pick the best 5 and post them weekly! (Don’t post them In the comments because I will most likely miss them!)~

This one time, at band camp…

… I wore a wedding dress to band rehearsal not realizing that it was a TOTAL mistake. Forget the dress, the MAKEUP was the worst.

-Joshua Indech

… the Euphonium skit was starting to get inappropriate… like Peter Fugate cross-dressing! So G rang the gong to stop the skit 50 times and the Euphoniums refused to stop the skit.

-Michelle C. Parkos

…  the year before my last I spent the night before the first rehearsal with instrumnets cleaning my horn, and then after breakfast I accidently left my case open and it fell out when I picked it up and the thrid valve got bent. D’OH!

-Richard Sponholz

… My 8th grade band camp (Encore) a few guys stole my bed and literally hid it in the closet which locked from the inside. I didn’t realize this till late after free time. By the time I got my mattress out, I realized they also accidently broken one of the legs of my bed which I then had to pay $54 for.

-Andrew Shain

… someone tried to curl another girl’s hair with one of those round brushes right before lights out one night and it got stuck in her hair and the chaperones were up for an extra hour untangling it from her hair.

-Christine ‘Steen’ Krause

Not a Celebration, more like a relief. *MUST READ*

As most of you know, the Nintendoboy himself was having doubts about his own site.  What a relief that Nintendoboy is here to stay. There must be some changes made though, mainly… the users. As users (the people Nintendoboy makes this site for), you have more power on this site than you know.  If he doesn’t see activity on here he assumes no one will see it, so why bother? Now what are these changes you ask? We all need to be more active on here. That means comment on videos, use the forums, play the gamse, anything the you want on this site. E-mail either Jeffrey or Me and suggest things to do for videos, articles, or other ideas and we’ll try to make it happen. If hard for just a handful of people to keep a site going if users rarely use it.

The End?

Not sure what to do anymore. This site, oh how much I love it, is dying. No one visits it anymore. I used to have almost around 500 unique visitors a day, now I’m lucky if I have 50. I don’t know what’s wrong. I try so hard. The Rendezvous… sure, that’s my fault. But the forums, the games, everything else… it’s just not what it used to be anymore. I mean, even the main part, the videos… I never received a single comment on my site with my latest video. :[ Guys, you have no idea how hard I work on this site and the videos for it, and I hardly ever see any love. So I’m pretty much thinking of deleting the site. Making videos is still up in the air, and even I’m not sure if that’s going to remain alive on YouTube. I’m looking at other possible options for other sites. I’m still in a limbo, as I have just lost all hope, but don’t want to see the site go down. If you want to have an idea of how bad we really are, the company that I sell advertising on actually yanked my ad box because my traffic was pretty low. Bummer indeed. x.x Leave me a comment with your thoughts… I’m open for ideas or anything you have to say. But for now, I may start digging the grave for The Nintendo Boy Project. :[ I’ll hopefully see you again on some other site. Good bye for now… 🙁
