Hey, this is Lil Junior and this is our crazy tour story. Take it away.
So we're super poor most of the time, as a lot of bands at our level are.
So we try and crash on people's floors as much as we can.
Sometimes it's people we know, sometimes it's people we meet at the show.
So this was a couple years ago in Winnipeg, and we met someone.
She was really nice, and she played in a band, and she was like,
you can totally crash with me, but the place I'm house-sitting,
I have to go there so you can crash there.
It was like half an hour, 45 minutes outside of Winnipeg,
and she's like, just follow me, we're going to go, it's going to be great.
So we're following her, and she's a very fast and kind of erratic driver,
so it was quite hard to follow her, and then we're getting deeper and deeper
into the rural Amazon vibe, which is cool, but not what we expected.
So we finally get there, and there's all these old vehicles,
sort of like trashed vehicles all around the property.
It's very muddy, there's a lot of bugs.
And there's no house to be seen either.
We had to walk through a swamp to get to where we're staying
with our sleeping bags and mats and gear.
And when we get there, it's like this rambling old farmhouse
that we later found out had been moved to this location
for God knows what reason, because it was absolutely on its last legs.
And in the process of being moved, it had sat without the roof on it
for like three weeks.
So everything inside was moldy and rotten, and the person who owned it,
who was not the person that was hosting us, she was away somewhere,
I don't know, anyway, she was for sure a hoarder.
And so it was just piled with weird old antiques,
and it was honestly terrifying.
It was such a scary place.
The basement was really, really scary,
but there was an alpaca that was being taken care of,
so that was very cool.
Not in the basement, but on the property.
No, they were outside.
It was a happy ending, because we woke up in the morning
and the sun was shining, and from the outside the house was beautiful,
so we got to see that.
Then we walked to a fenced-in area, and we fed an alpaca and a goat.
They were gentle, kind souls, and not the devils we thought they were.
They got crazy-looking eyes.
If you've ever seen the eyes of an alpaca,
it looks like they're staring through you.
That was a weird story, I know.
