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

✨ **Embracing Community: A Potluck Gathering in the New Mexico Desert** ️
✨ **Embracing Community: A Potluck Gathering in the New Mexico Desert** ️
Living off-grid in the vast expanse of the New Mexico desert offers a lifestyle filled with unique challenges and rewarding moments. Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting a potluck meal with our neighbors, reminding us of the importance of community in our lives.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the desert landscape, we gathered to share food, stories, and laughter. Each dish was a labor of love, reflecting the diverse backgrounds and culinary traditions of our small community.
In a place where self-reliance is key, we’ve learned that community is equally vital. Whether lending a hand during tough times or celebrating life’s moments together, our bonds strengthen our sense of belonging and security.
Living off-grid presents unique safety considerations, from navigating rugged terrain to preparing for extreme weather. By fostering camaraderie and support, we create a safety net that extends beyond our individual homesteads.
As the evening closed and stars emerged overhead, illuminating the desert sky, we felt grateful for the connections forged with our neighbors. In a disconnected world, our desert community is a beacon of warmth and shared humanity.
As we face challenges and adventures ahead, we take comfort in our community. Together, we navigate off-grid living guided by solidarity and support.
Here’s to more potluck gatherings, shared sunsets, and camaraderie in the desert. May our community thrive, rooted in kindness and mutual support.
Until next time,
Melodie and Brent Colquhoun

Unexpected Encounters: Living Among Free-Range Cattle at Ka-hoon
Living out here on the Ka-Hoon Plateau Hame De Colquhoun has its unique charms, and one of my favorite aspects is the presence of free-range cattle. These majestic creatures usually keep their distance, but every now and then, they decide to pay us a visit.
Last night was one of those occasions, and it was quite the unexpected encounter. As I hadn’t turned on the motion alarms to keep the cattle away from our buildings and solar panels, one curious cow sauntered right up to our homestead. It seemed she had a particular craving and decided to make a stop at the Dusty Nail General Store – or at least, that’s what it looked like!
Standing just outside the dog fence, she seemed unfazed by the presence of our vigilant canine companions. With a nonchalant demeanor, she leisurely grazed on the grass, completely indifferent to the curious stares from our furry friends.
It’s moments like these that remind me of the beauty and unpredictability of life out here in the wilderness. Despite the occasional surprises, sharing our space with these gentle giants adds to the charm of our rustic lifestyle. Who knows what other adventures await us in the days to come?

Storm coming in
After wrapping up our work in the studio, we stepped outside and noticed that a storm was approaching. We decided to make the most of the situation by heading back home and taking some time to let the dogs out and play with them before the storm arrived. It was a great opportunity to enjoy some quality time with our furry friends while staying safe and dry inside.
