**You Won’t Believe What Happened at Ka-Hoon Campground This Morning… Desert Drama with Two Bulls!**
Living off-grid in the New Mexico desert definitely has its perks—peace, open skies, and plenty of space—but it also comes with its share of *wild* surprises. One of those surprises? **Free-range cattle.** Yep, real-life, unsupervised cows just roaming the land like they own the place.
Here at **Ka-Hoon Campground**, we’ve come to a sort of “understanding” with these four-legged locals: they stay out of our main event and camping area, and we let them graze in peace. Unfortunately, **this morning, that agreement was broken. Again.**
While heading out to encourage them back where they belong, **two bulls decided it was the perfect time for a desert showdown.** With no phone on me (of course!), I had to move cautiously between two full-grown bulls *going head-to-head*—right where our guests usually enjoy their morning coffee.
After a tense few moments, they moved out of our main zone and continued their standoff across the way… for over an hour! Once I made it back to the RV, I captured some of their ongoing match from a safe distance.
**It’s not every day you witness a bull brawl in your backyard,** but out here in the wild west of New Mexico, it’s just another morning.
Want to experience the beauty (and wild drama) of the desert for yourself? **Come camp with us at Ka-Hoon Campground**—where nature doesn’t just surround you, it *includes* you.

Fighting Wind & Weak WiFi: Off-Grid Musicians Battle the Desert to Go Live with Original Music!
**Dust, Wind & Desert Vibes: Why Our Live Music Schedule is a Bit Wild**
If you’ve followed us for any amount of time, you probably know we regularly host **live music sessions on TikTok**—featuring **Advocatus Diaboli**, **Shamshini**, and our moderator **Melodious**. But this year… the **wind** just won’t quit.
Living off-grid in the New Mexico desert means we’re at the mercy of Mother Nature and solar power. While we *can* use generators, we prefer to avoid burning gas unless absolutely necessary. That means no sun = limited power. And on top of that, the **wind** has made things especially tricky this season.
You might be wondering—**why does the wind matter for live music?** Here’s the thing: our wireless internet comes from a local provider and runs through a central hub on the property. From there, it’s repeated out to different zones. Our **music studio is made of metal**, and the repeater inside doesn’t work well with the doors closed. But when the wind kicks up, we **have to shut everything tight**—because desert sand doesn’t just blow by, it *invades*. Seriously, ever tasted sand? If not, visit during high winds and you’ll know exactly what we mean.
So when the doors are shut tight and the internet signal drops, we can’t stream. No signal = **no TikTok live**.
But we’re still here, still playing, and still connecting when we can. Make sure to **follow us on TikTok (@PlateauHameDeColquhoun and
@Advocatus.Diaboli0)** so you get notified whenever we go live. Whether you want to **listen to Shamshini and Advocatus Diaboli**, chat with us, request a song, or even join the live to share your own music or stories—we welcome you.
No pressure. No gifts required. Just come hang out and enjoy the music and weird desert energy.
And if you’re wondering what kind of music we play—**Advocatus Diaboli doesn’t stick to radio hits**. Expect parodies, originals, deep cuts, and songs that tell a story.

From Stroke to Stage: Advocatus Diaboli Returns for Open Mic Night in the Desert!
Back at It: Open Mic Night with Advocatus Diaboli – May 25th at Ka-Hoon Campground
It’s been a challenging journey, but Brent—also known as **Advocatus Diaboli**—is on the road to recovery. Following his stroke, each day brings a little more strength, a bit more movement, and renewed energy. While he’s still healing and tires easily, he’s determined to reconnect with the music and community that bring him to life.
In celebration of his progress and the desire to get back to doing what we love, **we’re hosting an Open Mic Night on Sunday, May 25th** at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center** in the New Mexico desert.
This event is **free to attend**, with **camping available at just \$12 per night** (up to 5 people per site). Whether you’re a seasoned performer or just want to relax under the desert stars and listen, all are welcome.
**Can’t make it in person?** No problem! We’ll be livestreaming the event on our **TikTok channel (@ColquhounEntertainment)** so you can watch, support, or even join in remotely.
This is more than just an open mic—it’s a moment to reconnect, celebrate resilience, and support local artists. Brent may not be 100%, but his passion for music and community is stronger than ever.
**Join us May 25th for music, connection, and healing—live from the heart of the desert.**

Stroke Recovery Update: One Month Later—Brent Sings Again and Fights to Reclaim His Strength
**One Month Stroke Recovery Update: Brent’s Battle and Breakthroughs**
Today marks one month since Brent—better known as *Advocatus Diaboli*—came home from the hospital after suffering a cortical stroke and undergoing a Carotid Endarterectomy. The stroke took a toll on his mobility, especially in his left arm, and he experienced weakness in his leg. Most concerning of all, he was having serious trouble speaking, and doctors weren’t sure if he’d ever talk normally again—let alone sing.
But just two days after coming home, Brent *sang*.
While his left arm hasn’t regained full function, we’re seeing hopeful signs. In the mornings, he can move his fingers and even form a grip. As the day progresses, fatigue takes a toll and that mobility lessens—but each day, he’s staying stronger a little longer.
This recovery journey hasn’t been easy—especially for such a strong and independent man. One clear example is our ongoing shower build. Brent knows if he were physically capable, it would already be done. But since Anne and I are learning as we go, it’s been slow and only partially completed. Still, we push forward, proud of every step.
Today is Mother’s Day, but I want to take a moment to honor Brent. Stroke recovery isn’t guaranteed. It’s scary, frustrating, and emotionally draining. The medications can worsen those feelings with side effects like irritability. And through it all Brent Colquhoun has been going strong!
We are beyond proud of his strength, his progress, and the music that continues to come back to life.

Live Music & Madness in the Desert – Advocatus Diaboli & Shamshini Burn It Down at Ka-Hoon Campground!
Live From the Desert: Music, Madness & Connection at Ka-Hoon Campground

Follow us on TikTok:
**ColquhounEntertainment** and **AdvocatusDiaboli**
**“Voices of the Void”** – On a weekday night (usually announced same-day), Advocatus Diaboli takes you on a musical ride through classic rock, lesser-known gems, and deep lyrics that sometimes wander into existential territory. From vocals to raw emotion, it’s more than a show—it’s a moment.
**“Saturday’s Inferno”** – Saturday nights light up with both **Advocatus Diaboli and Shamshini** sharing the spotlight. Think covers, original songs, and parody performances with a gritty desert twist. Our amazing moderator, **Melious**, keeps the community flowing and the chat alive. Whether you’re there to discover new music or get your favorite song sung in a whole new way—this is the place.
It’s all **broadcast live** from right here at **Ka-Hoon Campground**, where the winds are wild, the Wi-Fi is stubborn, and the creativity never stops. Weather and internet might slow us down some days, but they’ll never stop the show.
We’ve made a home in the chaos—and you’re invited.

From Stroke to Song: One Month Later, I’m Singing Again!
Stroke Recovery Update: One Month Later
Just one month ago, we rushed to the ER thinking I had a severe pinched nerve—but it turned out to be a stroke. At the time, I was struggling to speak, and doctors weren’t sure if I’d ever talk normally again—let alone sing.
But here we are. The journey hasn’t been easy, but the progress has been incredible. Speech is returning, music is slowly coming back to life, and I’m continuing to defy the odds with every step.
Want to follow the journey? I’m sharing weekly updates, performances, and progress on social media, YouTube, and our official website:

Rainy Days, Movie Nights & Shower Builds – What’s New at Ka-Hoon Campground This Week!
Spring Storms, Movie Night & Shower Build Progress at Ka-Hoon Plateau Hame De Colquhoun
It’s been a cloudy, chilly, and rainy week out here in the desert, but that doesn’t stop us from planning some fun! **This Saturday**, weather permitting, we’re hosting another cozy **Movie Night** under the stars—bring a blanket and a chair! Then on **Sunday, May 25th**, we’re holding an **Open Mic Night**. Whether you sing, read poetry, or just want to hang out, we welcome everyone to take the mic and share.
**Shower House Update**
Building the new shower has proven to be more of a challenge than expected. If Brent were fully capable, he’d probably have it knocked out in a day. But this time, Anne and I are doing the building ourselves with Brent’s guidance. While we’ve helped with builds before, this is our first time truly taking the lead. Let’s just say—we’ve learned we’re much better assistants than lead builders!
We’ve been working around weather delays, high winds, and rainy weekends—not to mention juggling schedules. Progress is slower than we hoped, but it’s still moving forward and will be worth it when it’s done!

Advocatus Diaboli’s 3-Week Stroke Recovery Update: From Surgery to Singing Again
Advocatus Diaboli’s 3-Week Stroke Recovery Update: From Surgery to Singing Again
It’s been three weeks since Brent, the man behind **Advocatus Diaboli**, experienced a stroke that changed everything—but not his spirit. We’re proud to share that his recovery is coming along steadily, and one of the most powerful tools aiding his progress has been something close to his heart: *music*.
This week, Brent—still recovering—performed **”Another Man’s Grave” by Amigo the Devil**, and the results are nothing short of inspiring. From just two days after surgery to now, Brent has been singing his way through recovery. His vocal strength and emotional presence are growing stronger with each performance, and you can follow that journey on the **Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band** YouTube channel.
Music has been more than therapy—it’s been a lifeline. Every week, we’re sharing updates on Brent’s progress, and his resilience continues to shine through each note, lyric, and beat.
**Catch the latest video update and see how far Brent has come—from the hospital bed to the stage.**

Healing, Hustling, and Holding Down the Campground
Life has a way of shifting priorities, and lately, we’ve been in full-on healing and doctor appointment mode. While there’s not a ton of new progress to report here at the campground, we’re still here—showing up day by day.
Between medical visits and recovery, our hands have been full, but that doesn’t mean the campground is closed. In fact, we’re still open and welcoming campers! Projects may be moving a bit slower than usual, but we’re continuing to chip away as energy and time allow.
Sometimes, life steps in and reminds you to pause, focus on what truly matters, and give yourself grace. Thank you to everyone who’s supported us during this time—we’re still building, still dreaming, and always grateful.

Campground Shower Build Progress: Teamwork, Challenges, and Big Plans for Off-Grid Living!
Today was a huge milestone for our off-grid shower project at Ka-Hoon Plateau Hame De Colquhoun ! We tackled the hardest part—getting the 350-gallon IBC tote lifted, aligned, and secured on top of the first one to build our campground shower system. It was definitely more than Anne and I could handle alone, but with Brent’s help (and some neighborly support), we made it happen!
Once we figured out how to lift, turn, and line up the tote, a neighbor arrived just in time to help us cut the door and anchor everything down securely. We’re so grateful for the community support—this project wouldn’t have been possible without it!
Next steps include adjusting the plastic liners, installing an additional liner piece to lock everything into place, building a door, and plumbing the water heater and shower head. We’re also planning to add a small changing area outside the shower space, with hopes of someday installing a washing machine to make off-grid life even more comfortable for our campers and ourselves.
Every step we take brings us closer to improving the campground experience here in the New Mexico desert. This off-grid DIY shower will be available for campers to use for a small fee to help cover water and propane costs.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue building forward—one project, and one day, at a time!
