Rising from the Ashes – A Week of Strength, Music, and Miracles**
This past week has been one of the hardest we’ve ever faced here at Ka-Hoon Campground & Colquhoun Entertainment. On Monday, our own Advocatus Diaboli suffered a subcortical stroke—unexpected, frightening, and life-altering. The days that followed were filled with uncertainty, hospital visits, and prayer. By Friday, he was in surgery to repair the artery causing the damage.
Doctors weren’t sure what the outcome would be. They even warned us he might not be able to sing again. But if you know Advocatus Diaboli, you know he doesn’t give up easily.
Just two days after surgery, he defied the odds—he sang again. Not at full strength yet, but close. And if you watch the video, you’ll see the fire is still there.
This isn’t just a story about music—it’s about grit, healing, and the power of community. We’re beyond grateful for those who’ve stood by us, sent love, and kept the music alive.
The desert can be quiet, but strength grows in the silence. We’re still here, still singing.

Live Music & Camping Under the Stars – Advocatus Diaboli & The Grim Leafer Band at Mini Red Velvet!
**Spring at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun & Upcoming Events**
The days are getting warmer and longer here at **Plateau Hame De Colquhoun LLC**, and we’re gearing up for an exciting season!
**Advocatus Diaboli & The Grim Leafer Band – Live This Sunday!**
This Sunday, **Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band** will be performing live at **Mini Red Velvet Underground**! With three new songs in the works, rehearsals are in full swing—even while battling colds. We’re pushing through to bring you an unforgettable show!
**A Community That Cares at Ka-Hoon Campground**
At **Ka-Hoon Campground**, we’ve been fortunate to host some incredible campers who appreciate the **privacy, security, and sense of community** we offer.
One camper recently shared their experience, suggesting we tell their story:
– They had trouble unhooking their camper, and we were able to provide a jack and assistance.
– Later, their vehicle’s battery died, and thanks to our jumper box (which also tests battery health), we discovered it needed replacing. After a quick jump, they made it to town to purchase a new one.
– They felt **safe and supported**, something we provide naturally but don’t always highlight.
These moments remind us why we created a **membership-based campground**—a place where you can be yourself, have your own space, and rely on a community when needed.
**Booking Reminder – Don’t Just Show Up!**
While we love meeting new people, we ask that all visitors **book in advance** through our website or contact us first. We welcome campers, members, and venue users, but as a **private property** in the middle of the desert, security is a priority—for us, our guests, and our neighbors.
**Members and campers are welcome to have guests**, but please give us a heads-up so we aren’t caught off guard. **We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to hosting you!**

Off-Grid Challenges, Campground Life, and a Unique Animatronic Band You Don’t Want to Miss!
**Balancing Off-Grid Living, Campground Life, and the Band**
As winter lingers, each day brings a touch more daylight, but our lives remain packed with activity. Between managing the campground, handling the weather’s unpredictable nature, and juggling personal commitments, things have been anything but quiet.
Our campground has been bustling with campers, weather preparations, and engaging with our growing membership community. The off-grid lifestyle demands constant attention to ensure everything runs smoothly, from solar maintenance to accommodating guests in changing conditions.
Meanwhile, the spotlight is on **Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band**, as we gear up for an exciting performance this Sunday at **Juno Brewery in Albuquerque**. With the band’s unique blend of music, humor, and animatronic theatrics, this show promises to be unforgettable. Preparing for a performance like this involves countless hours of rehearsals, refining timing, and ensuring every detail aligns for an exceptional experience.
As we juggle these aspects of life, we are reminded of why we chose this path—living authentically, embracing challenges, and sharing creativity with our community. If you’re in Albuquerque this weekend, come out and join us for an evening of boundary-pushing entertainment!
**Stay tuned for updates and insights from our off-grid adventures and band performances.**

From Amigo the Devil to Advocatus Diaboli: Unforgettable Music & Passion You Don’t Want to Miss!
The Passion of Performance: Celebrating Music and Memories
Brent’s birthday is just around the corner, and this year, Anne surprised us with tickets to see Amigo the Devil—a show we always enjoy. Watching Amigo’s passion on stage reminded me so much of Brent’s (aka Advocatus Diaboli) energy when he’s performing. Brent thrives on the joy of connecting with his audience, hearing them sing along, laugh, and share in the love of music.
I’ll admit, I’m not the biggest music person (which might sound odd given that I live in a house filled with it). For me, the magic is in watching the performers and the crowd—their reactions, their passion, the shared moments. Performers who truly love what they do bring an unmatched energy to the stage, and it’s a joy to witness.
Over the years, I’ve had the chance to see some iconic bands live: Rob Zombie, KISS, Judas Priest, Metallica, to name a few. While some of these performances were filled with raw passion, others felt more like just another show. The big-name draw might make the experience worthwhile, but without that spark of genuine love for the craft, it can leave something to be desired.
That’s why I’m always excited about performers like Amigo the Devil—and, of course, Brent and the Grim Leafer Band. Their dedication to their art and their audience is evident in every note, every lyric, and every laugh they share on stage.
If you love music, laughter, and the thrill of a live performance, don’t miss **Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band** on **December 21 at Black Wall Arts and Productions**. Come out and support not only the band but also the venues that make these incredible shows possible.
Let’s make it a night to remember, filled with music, joy, and the kind of passion that makes live performances unforgettable!
