Overcoming Stage Fright: Shamshini’s Journey with Albukaraoque at Tractor Brewing
On Saturday, February 15, 2025, we took the night off and headed to Tractor Brewing Company Wells Park in Albuquerque for an evening of live band karaoke with Albukaraoque . This unique experience allows participants to sing their favorite songs backed by a talented five-piece band, offering an interactive and memorable show.
The event was a fantastic opportunity for both Shamshini and Advocatus Diaboli to rehearse in a lively setting. Shamshini, who has been working to overcome stage fright, found that participating in these live performances has significantly boosted her confidence. Since the inception of Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band project, her progress has been remarkable.
One aspect I personally love about live music is the authenticity—the occasional mistakes, voice cracks, and technical malfunctions. These imperfections make each performance unique and genuine. If I wanted perfection, I’d opt for studio-recorded music and never attend a concert.
For those interested in experiencing this for themselves, Albukaraoque hosts live band karaoke at Tractor Brewing – Wells Park every third Saturday of the month. It’s an excellent way to enjoy live music and perhaps even take the stage yourself. citeturn0search16
Tractor Brewing – Wells Park is located at 1800 4th St NW, Albuquerque, NM 87102. Their hours vary throughout the week, so be sure to check their official website for the most up-to-date information. citeturn0search6
Whether you’re a seasoned performer or just looking to have some fun, live band karaoke with Albukaraoque at Tractor Brewing offers a welcoming and entertaining environment for all.

Vibria the Escape Artist: Our Struggle to Keep Her Safe & Contained!
**Vibria the Escape Artist: Our Ongoing Battle to Keep Our Pup Contained**
Vibria, our energetic rescue pup, is now around 6 to 7 months old—and proving to be quite the escape artist! Despite her small size, she’s mastered the art of slipping through the rails of our fence. To outsmart her, we initially attached a scrub brush to her harness, making her too big to squeeze through. That worked… for a few days. Then, she figured out another way to make her great escape.
Today, we picked up a budget-friendly plastic wind fence to reinforce the existing one. We didn’t have time to snap photos during setup, as we were racing against the setting sun and incoming winds, but I’ll try to grab some tomorrow. Fingers crossed this solution works!
We’ve already made several adjustments to keep Vibria safely contained—from reinforcing the fence under the RV to securing the gate she learned to push open. Our original plan was to use chicken wire, but the store was out of the size we needed, and the alternatives weren’t budget-friendly. So, we settled on this plastic fence as our latest attempt.
Check out the video of Vibria enjoying her time running free! She’s allowed outside when we’re with her, but she has other ideas—sneaking off to the members’ tent, playing chase with the kitties (sometimes catching them for a round of puppy slobbers), and, of course, sneaking some of their food.
Stay tuned for updates on whether this new fence holds up against our little escape artist!

Busy Days & a Peaceful Birthday Night – Campground Life, Rehearsals & Taking Time to Unwind!
**Catching Up & A Birthday Well Spent**
First off, thank you to everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes! Your kind words truly mean a lot.
Lately, we haven’t been posting as much as we’d like—life has been keeping us busy. Between hosting campers and members, running Anne to work, rehearsing, and working on doing more live streams on TikTok and Clapper, our days have been packed. Finding personal time has been a challenge, and unfortunately, daily posts tend to be the first thing to get sacrificed.
My birthday was a simple but perfect night. After a day of errands and tasks at Ka-Hoon Campground, we took the evening for ourselves. A few rounds of cribbage, good music, and plenty of laughter made for a peaceful, drama-free celebration. Sometimes, the best moments are the quiet ones spent with those who matter most.
We’ll do our best to keep up with sharing more updates—until then, we’re embracing life as it comes, one busy but fulfilling day at a time!

Cleaning Up the Yard & Enjoying Time with Our Furry Kids – A Productive Day in the Desert!
**A Productive and Enjoyable Day in the Desert**
Today was a beautiful day—perfect for getting things done and spending some quality time outdoors. Before taking Anne to work, we took some time to clean up the yard, making our space a little more organized and refreshing. It always feels good to keep things tidy, especially out here in the desert where the elements can quickly take over.
After the work was done, we made sure to enjoy the day by playing with our furry kids. They always bring so much joy and energy, reminding us to take a break and appreciate the little moments.
Living out here, every day is a balance between work and enjoying the simple things. The weather has been great, and it’s days like these that make life in the desert feel just right.

Why We Don’t Ask for Donations & How You Can Support Ka-Hoon Campground in Other Ways!
Supporting Ka-Hoon Campground: Ways to Help
Lately, we’ve received a few emails asking if we would set up a CashApp, Venmo, or even an Amazon Wishlist for donations. While we truly appreciate the thought, we’ve always been independent and prefer to earn our way. However, we understand that some of you genuinely want to support us, so we’ve been brainstorming ways to make that possible while staying true to our values.
We know times are tough for many, and uncertainty is everywhere. If you’d like to support us but can’t camp, attend an event, or visit in person, we suggest sponsoring a membership. This not only helps us but also provides an opportunity for someone else—a family or individual—to have a safe place to set up their homestead or simply enjoy a space where they can be themselves.
As for the Amazon Wishlist, we’re not sure what we’d include. Would campers and members benefit from extra tents, cooking supplies, or maybe some essentials for the dogs? Our storage space is limited, so we’d love input on what might actually be useful.
We’re not wealthy—funds are always tight—but we’ve built everything we have through hard work and determination. We’ve occasionally received small donations from campers, which we see as tips for the experience we provide, and we’re completely okay with that. However, we don’t feel comfortable simply accepting money or gifts without giving something in return.
If you truly want to help but can’t visit, the best ways to support us are:
✔️ Sponsor a membership to help others access our space.
✔️ Share our website and videos to help more people find us.
If you think we should create an Amazon Wishlist, let us know what items would be most useful! One camper donated some ready-to-eat meals (REMs), which we’ve shared with campers and community members—and, admittedly, enjoyed ourselves!
Your support, in any form, means the world to us. Thank you for being part of our journey!

Campfire Laughs & TikTok Live Gone Wrong – Anne’s Lawn Chair Fail at Ka-Hoon Campground!
**A Beautiful Day at Ka-Hoon Campground: Fires, Fun, and TikTok Live**
Today was one of those perfect desert days—warm, peaceful, and full of unexpected laughs. While Brent was off helping a neighbor, Anne and I took the time to relax, enjoy the fresh air, and have a fire. We even hopped on TikTok Live for a short stream to share the moment with our online community.
Of course, no day is complete without a little bit of chaos. In the middle of our live, Anne managed to flip over in a lawn chair that hadn’t been properly secured open. I couldn’t help but burst into laughter—so much that I wasn’t even sure I could help her up! Moments like these remind us why we love this lifestyle—simple joys, good company, and the ability to laugh at ourselves.
We’ll be doing more TikTok Lives soon, so make sure to follow us for real, unfiltered glimpses into life at Ka-Hoon Campground!

Creative Desert Life: Advocatus Diaboli Live, Flora Hamlet Art & Handmade Creations at Ka-Hoon!
**Life at Ka-Hoon Campground: Art, Music, and Creativity in the Desert**
It’s been a quiet stretch here at Ka-Hoon Campground, but the warming days have given us the opportunity to tackle a few outdoor chores and enjoy some fresh air. While not much has been happening to report on, we’re still keeping busy in our own creative ways.
Brent has been hard at work with Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band, preparing for more live performances on TikTok. These animatronic-driven shows are always a hit, and we’re excited to bring them back to our online audience soon!
Meanwhile, I’ve been revisiting a personal project I started back in Ruidoso: my *Flora Hamlet Project*. It’s a leather-bound art book filled with intricate drawings inspired by nature, particularly flowers. Each flower becomes a character, and their vines symbolize arms and legs, connecting them to one another—a visual representation of how everything and everyone is interconnected. It’s been a while since I’ve drawn, so it’s taken me some time to get back into the groove, but it’s been rewarding to see the project come back to life.
For those interested, prints from the *Flora Hamlet Project* are available at the Dusty Nail General Store, alongside my crocheted creations like gnomes, mushrooms, hats, and stuffed animals. Some of these crochet pieces are also sold at the merch table during Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band’s performances.
Anne has been equally busy juggling work, rehearsals, and spending time with her boyfriend, making the most of each day.
While things may feel slower at times, we’re always finding ways to stay creative and share our work with others. Follow along for updates on live performances, art projects, and all things Ka-Hoon Campground!
