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.**

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

Here at **Ka-Hoon Campground**, we’re not just off-grid—we’re off the charts. Streaming LIVE from the high desert of New Mexico, **Colquhoun Entertainment** brings you two weekly TikTok shows that blend music, community, and unexpected magic.

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.

**Don’t miss a beat. Follow, tune in, and become part of the Ka-Hoon family.**

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!

**Don’t Miss Our Membership Program!**

If you haven’t already, make sure to check out our **Membership Program**. Members enjoy:

* Free and discounted camping
* Discounts at our general store
* Free entry to special events like Movie Nights, Talent Shows, and more
* Priority access to campsites
* Member-only activities and gatherings

Caught on Cam: Cows Invade Off-Grid Campground, Lick Cameras & Cause Chaos in the Desert!

The Real Moochers of the Desert: Life Off-Grid with Free-Range Cattle at Ka-Hoon Campground

Living off-grid in the deep New Mexico desert has its perks—stunning sunsets, wide-open skies, and the sweet sound of silence… until the mooing starts.

Here at **Ka-Hoon Campground**, we’re tucked away just far enough to enjoy peaceful desert life, yet still close enough to civilization to grab tacos when the craving hits. But even in this semi-remote slice of paradise, we get **invaders**—and not the alien kind. We’re talking about the **free-range cattle** who apparently think *our grass is greener*.

Last night, these rogue bovines made a stealthy entrance, clearly plotting an elaborate heist. Step one? **Take out the security system**. We caught them red-tongued—licking and blocking the cameras like seasoned pros. Step two? **Steal the grass**, leave a little *”thank you”* manure, knock over our solar lights for good measure, and give the poles a good rub while they’re at it.

It’s not your typical crime spree, but welcome to **off-grid living in New Mexico**.

Despite their sneaky antics, it’s all part of the charm out here. Life is raw, real, and sometimes full of surprises—some smelly, some solar-powered.

So if you’re dreaming of going off-grid, come prepared. You might escape the hustle of the city… but you won’t escape the cows.

**Ka-Hoon Campground**—where even the cattle want in.

Ka-Hoon Campground: Where the Road Is Rough but the Welcome Is Real—Find Your Place Off the Grid

Life and the journey to Ka-Hoon Campground have a lot in common—bumpy, unpredictable, and totally worth it. The roads out here in the New Mexico desert aren’t perfect (we know), but they lead to something special.

We’ve built this off-grid space for *everyone*. It doesn’t matter who you voted for, your beliefs, or your background—what matters is respect. Whether you’re seeking quiet solitude or conversations around the fire with people from all walks of life, you’re welcome here.

We’ve been called a lot of things just for being different—cult leaders, satanic, eccentric. Truth is, we just like strange art, cool oddities, and having an open mind. Our library has books on all kinds of beliefs, not to worship, but to learn.

If that bothers you, that’s okay. But don’t judge what you haven’t taken the time to understand.

We’re just us. Off-grid, real, and always welcoming to those who respect others and embrace the journey—even the rough roads.

Just 2 Days After Stroke Surgery… He Sings Again – You Won’t Believe This Comeback!

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.

Taking a Moment: Life Happens, But the Desert Still Calls**

We know it’s been quiet on our end lately, and we haven’t been active on social media. Life threw us a curveball with a recent medical emergency, and we’ve had to step back to focus on healing and family. We appreciate your understanding and support more than words can express.

Unfortunately, this means we’ll be canceling the **Open Mic Night** scheduled for this coming **Saturday**. We hope to bring it back soon, stronger and better than ever.

In the meantime, **camping at Ka-Hoon Campground is still open**, and we welcome all who are looking for a peaceful New Mexico getaway. Whether you need a weekend to reset or just want to enjoy the quiet desert skies, our little corner of the world is still here for you.

Thanks again for your patience and continued support. We’ll see you soon—under the stars.

Join Us for a Unique Off-Grid Open Mic Night & Summer Hootenanny at Ka-Hoon Campground!

Kicking Off the Season at Ka-Hoon Campground: Open Mic Night & Upcoming Summer Hootenanny!**

Spring is slowly settling in here at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, and we’re gearing up for our **first small event of the season on April 19th**! This year, we’re trying something new with a **hybrid Open Mic Night** — both **in-person** and **online**. Can’t make it out to the desert? No problem! Join us on TikTok (details coming soon) and be a part of the fun from wherever you are.

We’ll likely start earlier for our in-person performers, then move online after dark. TikTok has a few limitations on songs, so we’re planning around that — stay tuned for finalized times and links!

Even though we haven’t made much progress on projects around the campground (thanks to the wind and a steady flow of campers), it’s been busy in all the best ways. Brent’s still struggling with his arm, but he’s seeing an orthopedic specialist this week — fingers crossed for good news and a simple fix. He’s ready to get back to using his hand and helping out more again.

**Looking ahead to July**, we’re excited to announce our **Halloween in the Summer Hootenanny** — an epic weekend of camping, music, and spooky fun under the desert stars. Decorate your campsite, join the campsite trick-or-treating, show off your costume, and even vend your handmade or unique goods if you’d like.

**Event Highlights:**
– **Live performance by Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band**
– **Campsite-to-campsite trick-or-treating**
– **Costume contest**
– **Free entry for attendees**
– **Free vending for campers**
– **$12 for non-camping vendors (covers the whole weekend)**
– **$12 per campsite/night (up to 5 people per site)**

Got a bigger group? Reach out — we’re happy to work with you.

**Ready to experience off-grid fun, good vibes, and a safe space to be yourself?** Come join us in the beautiful New Mexico desert. Visit our website for details, directions, and more:
