**Shamshini’s Solo Debut & St. Patrick’s Celebration at Mini Red Velvet Underground**
Brent (aka Advocatus Diaboli ) and I ( Melodie , moderator—or whatever Advocatus decides to call me) have been battling a stubborn cold. Thankfully, we’ve tested negative for flu and COVID, but that didn’t stop Advocatus from pushing through when he was supposed to rest his voice.
Since he was *supposed* to take the night off from singing, Shamshini stepped up for her first solo live rehearsal—and she did great! It was a fun and unique experience, though, of course, Advocatus Diaboli just couldn’t resist joining in.
Now, we’re gearing up for an epic night of music, mayhem, and St. Patrick’s Day vibes! You’re invited to experience the magic of ** Advocatus Diaboli, Shamshini, and the animatronic band**—**Spliff on bass, Roach on drums, and Blunt on keyboards**—live at **Mini Red Velvet Underground in Albuquerque**.
Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band
📅 **Date:** March 16th
⏰ **Time:** 7:00 – 9:00 PM
📍 **Location:** Mini Red Velvet Underground, Albuquerque, NM
Come for the music, stay for the madness—let’s make this St. Paddy’s celebration one to remember!

Experience Thanksgiving Off-Grid: Ka-Hoon Campground’s Unique Celebration in the New Mexico Desert!
Happy Thanksgiving from Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center!
Greetings from the beautiful New Mexico desert! All of us here at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.
As the holiday season begins, we reflect on the joys and challenges of living off-grid in this unique landscape. From hosting events like the Halloween Hootenanny to preparing for our upcoming HORRORDAZE Extravaganza on December 21st, it’s been a year filled with community, creativity, and hard work.
This Thanksgiving, we’re especially grateful for the support and enthusiasm of our members, guests, and friends. Whether you’ve joined us for camping, events, or just stopped by to enjoy the desert views, your presence has made Ka-Hoon a truly special place.
Today, we’ll celebrate with a turkey dinner shared among neighbors, embracing the spirit of togetherness that defines our off-grid lifestyle. Even as we navigate the quirks of desert living—like setting up new solar systems or braving chilly nights—we’re reminded that the connections we forge with others make it all worthwhile.
From all of us at Ka-Hoon, we hope your Thanksgiving is filled with warmth, good food, and cherished moments with loved ones. If you’re planning your next adventure, don’t forget to check out our unique camping experiences and exciting events.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Halloween Hootenanny & Dance of the Dead: Live Performances by Advocatus Diaboli & Grim Leafer Band!
Yesterday, we took the day off and relaxed by watching football with our neighbors. After dropping Anne off at work, we enjoyed some downtime, caught a few games, and did a few small tasks around the house. It was a nice break, especially after the excitement of Saturday’s Music in the Desert Talent Show and Karaoke.
This week is going to be busy with appointments and Anne’s work schedule. We also have to take care of a few things, like putting new brakes on the car. Most importantly, we’ll be spending a lot of time rehearsing, as ** Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band ** has some upcoming shows! We’ve got a few new songs to introduce, and we’re fine-tuning all the new conversions we’ve made. During Saturday’s show, we found an error in one of the songs, but it ended up being a funny moment. We’ll definitely be fixing that one—but we might just keep the mixed-up version for laughs!
**Upcoming Performances for Advocatus Diaboli **:
– **Saturday**: Halloween Hootenanny at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center
– **November 1st**: Halloween Dance of the Dead at Red Gorilla Studios

Creepy Crawl Trick-or-Treating at Ka-Hoon Campground’s Halloween Hootenanny: Fun for All Ages!
**Creepy Crawl Trick-or-Treating Ideas for the Halloween Hootenanny**
The Halloween Hootenanny is just around the corner, and with it comes our favorite spooky event—the Creepy Crawl trick-or-treating! This unique experience lets campers go from site to site collecting treats, and it’s a fun way to get everyone involved in the Halloween spirit.
Here are a few treat ideas to make your campsite stand out during the Creepy Crawl:
– **Cupcakes:** Easy to make and decorate with spooky themes like ghosts, spiders, or pumpkins. Cupcakes are a great option for both kids and adults.
– **Classic Candy:** You can’t go wrong with the tried-and-true. Stock up on your favorite candies for a guaranteed hit.
– **Glow Sticks:** A fun and safe treat, especially for kids. They can double as safety accessories when it gets dark.
– **Mixed Drinks & Punches:** For the adults, why not prepare some festive Halloween-themed beverages? Just be sure to check armbands to verify age before serving.
– **Gummies:** From classic gummy bears to Halloween-themed shapes, these treats are always a crowd-pleaser.
**Important Reminder:** The Creepy Crawl is for all ages! While “adult” treats like alcoholic beverages or 420 goodies are welcome, it’s crucial to ensure you’re giving them only to those who are of legal age. Always check armbands to avoid any mix-ups. Also, please be mindful of those who do not consume alcohol or 420. Respect everyone’s choice, and remember that “no” means “no.”
**New Service Considerations:**
We’re also exploring the idea of offering a shuttle service for campers, either to pick up Walmart orders or to drive individuals into town. This would make it more convenient for those who need to run errands or grab supplies. However, we haven’t made a final decision on whether this service will be feasible or necessary. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this! Would you find a shuttle service helpful during your stay at Ka-Hoon Campground? Let us know!
Get ready for a night of spooky fun, delicious treats, and memorable moments at the Halloween Hootenanny!

Prepare for the Ultimate Halloween Hootenanny at Ka-Hoon Campground!
**Get Ready for the Halloween Hootenanny at Ka-Hoon Campground!**
The Halloween Hootenanny is just around the corner, and it’s time to start planning how you’ll make your campsite stand out during this spooktacular event! Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
### 1. **Spooky Campsite Decorations**
If you’re looking to give your campsite a hauntingly festive makeover, consider adding some of these elements:
– **Pumpkin Lanterns**: Carve out pumpkins and place LED lights inside to create a spooky glow around your site.
– **Cobwebs and Spiders**: String up faux cobwebs and scatter plastic spiders around your tent or RV to add a creepy touch.
– **Ghostly Figures**: Create ghost decorations using white sheets or fabric and hang them from trees or poles for a floating effect.
– **Graveyard Scene**: Make your own DIY tombstones out of cardboard or foam and set up a mini graveyard at your site.
### 2. **Simple Lighting for a Welcoming Glow**
If you prefer not to go all out with decorations but still want to participate in the fun, just adding some lighting can make a big difference:
– **String Lights**: Hang up orange or purple string lights around your campsite to add a festive atmosphere.
– **Lanterns**: Use lanterns to light up your space, creating a warm and inviting glow for trick-or-treaters.
– **Glow Sticks**: Place glow sticks in jars or hang them around your campsite for an easy, low-maintenance way to add some Halloween spirit.
### 3. **Creepy Crawl: A Trick-or-Treat Adventure**
Remember, our Creepy Crawl trick-or-treating event is for both adults and children, so feel free to get creative with your treats! If you plan to hand out “adult” treats (like spiked cider or special candies), please check arm bands to ensure no one underage receives them.
### **Important Schedule Update**
We’ve moved the **Costume Contest** to the same night as the Creepy Crawl! This way, everyone can enjoy a full evening of costumes, treats, and Halloween fun. So start planning your costumes now—whether you’re going for spooky, funny, or creative, we can’t wait to see what you come up with!
For more details on the event and camping reservations, be sure to check out our website. Get ready for a hauntingly good time at the Halloween Hootenanny!

Unveiling the Ultimate Desert Festival Experience: Music, Cosplay & More at KaHoon Campground!
**Surviving the New Mexico Heat: Preparing for the Music in the Desert Talent Show**
Today, the New Mexico desert heat was intense as ever, making it a challenge to get through our daily tasks. With temperatures soaring, exhaustion set in quickly, and by the time the sun started to set, we were already worn out. But with the excitement of the upcoming **Music in the Desert Talent Show**, **Karaoke**, **Cosplay Contest**, and **Anime Screening** tomorrow, we pushed through to ensure everything is ready.
### Prepping for the Event
Despite the heat, we managed to accomplish quite a bit. We tackled some of the necessary mowing—not all of it, but just enough to prepare for tomorrow’s event. We also installed lights on the **Bothy Kitchen** top, giving it a welcoming glow for the evening festivities.
### Evening Plans
Once the temperatures drop this evening, we’ll finish clearing the area for the talent show and karaoke. The anticipation of seeing everyone’s creativity and talent under the desert stars is keeping us motivated!
### Join Us Tomorrow!
If you’re in the area, don’t miss out on this exciting event. Whether you’re a fan of **cosplay**, **karaoke**, or **anime**, there’s something for everyone. The cooler evening temperatures will make it a perfect time to enjoy the festivities and connect with fellow enthusiasts.
