This morning on our drive back home from the Aftershock Festival . We think back to 2 years ago to the day, we were making our move from Minnesota to New Mexico.
We have had many people ask us why we are in New Mexico. Here is our story…
We had worked as site managers at an event center for 5 yrs. During one of our yearly events an attendant had asked us if we’d be willing to come to her place in New Mexico for the winter and help her get her property ready to become an event center. After some discussion we decided to do it. (Our plans were to go for the winter then come back to Minnesota, buy land and start our own center) But while in New Mexico working a realtor brought a piece of land to our attention. We fell in love right away and bought it. We had no idea if our dream would work. But we thought we’d give it a try.
This week we have lived on the land for 2 years, and started hosting events 5 months ago. It’s been hard but we are slowly achieving our goal. We couldn’t have gotten this far without the continuous support of some wonderful neighbors, both Minnesota, New Mexico event centers(You know who you are), Rhythmpriest Productions, and not least all our old, new friends and relatives. We thank you all for helping and supporting us, we couldn’t have gotten this far without you all!!
Send positive thoughts, prayers for us to keep working to achieve our goals of having a successful Event center and Campground. A place that is safe for all to come without fear of judgement or ridicule.
We again we thank everyone that has helped supported us!!
Aftershock Festival is over, which means we head back home and finish getting ready for the Haunted Hay (Hell) Ride and Haunted Hell Ride & After Party With Dirty Brown Jug Band

Amigo the pup update
He is 9 weeks old today. Dreugan loves to play with him, though Dreugan tends to play a little “ruff”, soon Amigo will be able to keep up. We’ve been taking him for rides in the pickup and car to get him ready for next week’s trip.Last night was Amigos first full night of sleep, we even had to wake him up at 3 am to take him out.
Music in the Desert Open Mic was a success, We had a wide variety of talent show up, and everyone seemed to enjoy their night. Music in the Desert Open Mic ran until 1 am. We would like to Thank everyone that came out and look forward to seeing you all at the Haunted Hell Ride & After Party With Dirty Brown Jug Band and Haunted Hay (Hell) Ride !!
The new little Music in the Desert mascot Amigo loved hanging out with everyone, though it worn him out.
Some may know a couple weeks ago we lost Litha. She was a wonderful dog and loved everyone.. Today we went to Walmart and someone had puppies, we usually don’t look, but for some reason it felt like we needed to. We walked over to look at the puppies and they had one that looked a lot like Litha, we debated on getting him, as we didn’t want a puppy nor thought we were ready for a new dog. But for some reason we picked the pup up and felt like he belonged, after a few minutes of talking we decided to take him.. Now we are home, the first thing he did was lay by the water bowl, which was Lithas favorite place as a puppy.
Everyone meet Amigo!! He’ll be out hanging with at the Music in the Desert Open Mic tonight
Today the Music in the Desert Open Mic a FREE event. Music starts at 6pm. Bring a chair, something to roast over the fire, beer, bud, water and your talent!!
