I Planned My Own Surprise Birthday Party (It’s a Survival Skill)
Let’s just address the elephant in the desert right now…
Yes.
I planned my own **surprise birthday party**.
No.
I regret nothing.
When you live off-grid in the desert, you learn two things real fast:
1. Survival is optional, preparation is not.
2. If you want a good party, sometimes you *are* the surprise.
So welcome to **Music in the Desert**, where the only people who *didn’t* know it was my birthday were… well… everyone else. 🎂🌵

Why Plan Your Own Surprise Party?
Because:
* You control the music
* You control the vibe
* You know who’s showing up
* And cake tastes better when there’s live music
Also, let’s be honest — this isn’t a *birthday party*.
It’s a **survival party**.
We’ve survived heat, dust, off-grid chaos, creative madness, and the general weirdness of being unapologetically different. That deserves music. Loud, honest, desert-born music.

Off-Grid. Livestreamed. Still Creating — Music in the Desert
Creating Through Change: Why We Keep Making Music and Hosting Events
In a world obsessed with numbers — views, ticket sales, profit, and constant noise — it can be difficult to explain why some of us keep creating anyway.
We live off-grid in the New Mexico desert. Life out here is quiet, demanding, and honest. You work because you must. You create because something inside you refuses to go silent. Survival has very little to do with money, politics, or religion — and everything to do with resilience, purpose, and community.
For us, music and events are not about chasing attention. They are about **connection**.
Joy Is the Measure, Not the Noise
My joy comes from seeing others happy because of something I helped create — campers feeling welcome, people settling in to listen, or an audience connecting with a performance.
Our livestreams have become a real source of that joy.
Attendance has been growing steadily. Many people listen quietly, fully present, faces focused on the music. Others reach out afterward to tell us how much the show meant to them. Some even arrange their schedules around the livestreams so they don’t miss them.
That kind of connection matters deeply.
Not every audience is loud. Some are listening — and that’s just as powerful.
Creating Through Adaptation
My partner is a writer and a creator. He builds worlds with words and emotion. He knows what a piece should feel like — the weight, the atmosphere, the message — even when the path to bringing it to life looks different than it once did.
What matters is not *how* something is created, but **who is creating it**.
The vision is still his.
The words are still his.
The intention is still his.
Adaptation doesn’t diminish creativity. It proves devotion to it.
Showing Up, Even When It’s Quiet
Livestreaming allows us to reach people we wouldn’t otherwise meet — people who listen from their homes, their workspaces, or quiet corners of their lives. Without it, we wouldn’t have this connection at all.
These moments — the listening, the messages afterward, the shared experience — are what remind us why we keep going.
Creation doesn’t need to shout to be meaningful.
Why We Keep Going
We believe people should be able to live in ways that make sense for them, adapt without being judged, and create without needing permission.
We don’t do this for money.
We don’t do this for politics.
We don’t do this for religion.
We do this because being human means creating, connecting, and caring — even when it’s quiet, even when it’s unconventional, even when the world isn’t watching.
And for those who have found us through the livestreams: thank you for being there, for listening, and for sharing this space with us.
We’ll be back in venues near you playing the show again — and **Music in the Desert livestreams will be returning soon**.
We’re still here.
We’re still creating.
And we’re grateful you are too.

Music in the Desert 🌵🔥 Gothic Campfire Vibes, Live Performances & Weird Nights
**Music in the Desert: Live Performances, Campfire Nights & Gothic Desert Vibes**
Finding something truly different in a world of copy-paste entertainment is rare. **Music in the Desert** is not a bar gig, not a noisy club, and not background music you forget the next day. It’s an experience.
Hosted at **Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center**, Music in the Desert blends **live music**, **desert atmosphere**, and **campfire nights** into something unforgettable. Surrounded by wide-open skies, cactus silhouettes, and firelight, guests experience performances that feel raw, intimate, and real.
The show is led by **Advocatus Diaboli & Melodious**, known for their dark, poetic, and unconventional style. Their performances range from original music and spoken word to interactive moments that pull the audience into the experience instead of keeping them at a distance.
Unlike traditional venues, the campground setting allows visitors to:
* Camp under the stars
* Attend live music without overcrowded spaces
* Enjoy themed events, karaoke nights, and talent shows
* Experience gothic, desert-inspired vibes year-round
Music in the Desert is perfect for people who feel out of place in mainstream entertainment and are looking for something more authentic. Weird is welcome. Creativity is encouraged. Respect is the only rule.
**Available booking nights:** Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
All that’s needed is **power access**, **internet or strong mobile service**, and **space for a small performance setup** — we bring the rest.
If you’re looking for live music in the desert, unique campground events, or a performance that breaks away from the ordinary, **Music in the Desert** is for you.

Our Dogs Explain the Stress of Off-Grid Life at Ka-Hoon Campground 🌵🐾
Life Is Tough at Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center (According to the Dogs)
If you ask our dogs, life at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center** is incredibly demanding. Not because of danger, weather, or off-grid living — but because someone has to supervise *everything*.
Welcome to relaxed desert life at **Plateau Hame de Colquhoun**, where the biggest challenges involve lounging, watching humans work, and staring intensely at objects that may or may not move.
Living off-grid in central New Mexico has taught us that stress looks different out here. While humans juggle projects, events, and creative work through **Colquhoun Entertainment**, the dogs remain hyper-focused on their self-appointed roles: protector of nothing, rebellious observer, proper overseer, and professional fetch enthusiast.
This balance of calm, creativity, and humor is what makes **Ka-Hoon Campground** special. From hosting **Music in the Desert** to building community through off-grid living, we believe life doesn’t have to be rushed to be meaningful.
The dogs agree — as long as they’re included in every decision.
Whether you’re here for camping, events at **Ka-Hoon Event Center**, or just a glimpse into an off-grid lifestyle filled with personality, this is what desert living really looks like: grounded, creative, and just a little sarcastic.

First Snowfall at Ka-Hoon Campground ❄️ Desert Turns White | Off-Grid Time-Lapse Magic
First Snow of the Season at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center
There’s something quietly magical about witnessing the **first snow of the season in the New Mexico desert** — especially when you live off-grid. At **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, the landscape transformed overnight as soft snow settled across the desert floor, creating a rare and beautiful contrast between rugged earth and winter calm.
This **time-lapse snowfall video** captures that moment of transition — the stillness, the shifting light, and the reminder that even the harsh desert has its gentle moments.
Living off-grid means being deeply connected to the elements. When the first snow arrives, it changes everything: the air grows quieter, the desert feels softer, and time seems to slow down. These moments are why Ka-Hoon Campground exists — to offer a place where people can experience nature honestly, without filters or distractions.
Desert Snowfall Meets Off-Grid Life
Snow in the desert is never guaranteed, which makes it even more special when it happens. For those living and visiting off-grid, winter brings challenges, but also incredible beauty. This snowfall highlights the resilience required to live close to nature — and the reward that comes with it.
Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center is more than a place to camp. It’s a creative and alternative desert community built around:
* off-grid living
* music and events
* quiet desert reflection
* independence and simplicity
Whether you’re visiting for camping, staying long-term, or following along online, moments like this snowfall connect us all to the land we share.
