** Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band : Show Update and Rehearsal Reflections**
Good Wednesday morning! The temperatures here have been quite pleasant, which makes it easier to focus on rehearsals. Yesterday, we spent most of the day in the studio, working on some new material and fine-tuning the animatronics. Of course, life brought its usual interruptions, making it a longer-than-expected session—over 4 hours of rehearsing!
I’ve always enjoyed rehearsals, even when they run long. We’re constantly pushing the show to the next level, not just musically but in terms of performance, timing, and the overall atmosphere. Each rehearsal brings us closer to enhancing every aspect of the show, from our song list to how the animatronics interact. We’re particularly excited to introduce a couple of new songs to our set in the upcoming performances, blending parody, original pieces, and our unique band dynamic.
**Upcoming Shows:**
– Oct 12: * October Music in the Desert * at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center
– Oct 18: * Halloween Hootenanny * at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center
– Oct 19: * Advocatus Diaboli & The Grim Leafer Band * at Tractor Brewing Company – Westside
– Oct 32 “Nov 1”: * Halloween Dance of the Dead at Red Gorilla Studios * at Red Gorilla Studios LLC

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

Desert Community Rallies Together: Home Dialysis Help & BBQ Fun!
**Community Support and Togetherness in the Desert**
As previously discussed, having a supportive community is vital, especially in the remote desert where assistance from state and county officials can be challenging to obtain. Here, our neighbors have become more than just people living nearby; they are family.
One of our neighbors, who undergoes dialysis in Albuquerque three times a week, faced financial strain due to the travel expenses. Recently, he was approved for home dialysis, but needed to make some modifications to his home. In response, our community rallied together to help. We removed cabinets and benches to make space for the new equipment and uncovered additional issues that will require future attention.
We extend our gratitude to Red Gorilla Studios for their generous donation of a recliner, which is essential for his treatment.
After a few hours of hard work, we celebrated with a BBQ, practiced archery, enjoyed some music, and relaxed together. This sense of community support and togetherness makes all the difference in our lives out here.

New Date for Music in the Desert Saturday: Supporting Metal Mayhem and More!
At Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, our focus is on supporting the community rather than competing. With that in mind, we’re rescheduling our Music in the Desert Saturday Talent Show and Karaoke to the following Saturday, August 17th. This new date coincides with our Anime, Cosplay Contest, and Talent Show.
This change allows us to support Stage Luchetti and Red Gorilla Studios LLC , who are hosting a night of Metal Mayhem in Albuquerque. We’re excited to see everyone at these fantastic events and look forward to welcoming you to our own event on August 17th right here at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center!

Community Rally: From Pickup Truck Troubles to Rocking Red Gorilla Studios!
**Today’s the Day: Heading to Red Gorilla Studios!**
Today, the team from Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, along with a few campers, is excited to head to Red Gorilla Studios in Albuquerque for the Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band show!
We had a bit of a hiccup as our pickup truck broke down at the post office in town yesterday. Fortunately, our amazing community of neighbors stepped up and towed it home. After some investigation, we discovered that the starter solenoid had gone out. We’ve ordered a new one, but in the meantime, our generous neighbors are towing our trailer for us.
Living out here, our community has evolved from a group of strangers into a close-knit family. Despite occasional disagreements, it’s heartwarming to know we can rely on each other. We’re grateful to be part of this supportive community and look forward to the show!

Behind the Scenes: Preparing for the Epic Advocatus Diaboli Performance!
**Embracing the Heat and the Challenge**
The days have been scorching, and we’ve been hard at work in the studio preparing for Saturday’s performance by Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band at Red Gorilla Studios in Albuquerque. We’re implementing many exciting changes, which has been a considerable amount of work. As someone who isn’t naturally musically inclined, learning to operate three animatronics and synchronizing parts within a song has been quite a challenge.
Despite the difficulties, I’m pleasantly surprised at how I’m picking it up. With support from those around me and a lot of practice, I’m starting to see how everything is coming together. I’ve found myself enjoying the process more than I expected.
Having never grown up around music, I never imagined myself in this role. However, I’m embracing the challenge and am committed to succeeding where I once thought I couldn’t. The effort is well worth it, and I’m excited about the progress we’re making.

Desert Monsoons and Music: A Day at Ka-Hoon Campground
**Embracing the New Mexico Desert Life**
Yesterday, we planned to start a new project, but with rain in the forecast, we decided to hold off. The project will take a few days to complete, and we don’t want it to get damaged by the weather. That’s why we’ve delayed starting and focused on other tasks instead. We spent some time in the studio, working on our next upcoming show. Later, we headed to the Greenroom with a few friends, hung out, and enjoyed leftovers from the Saturday night private gathering. It was a cooler day, which made it all the more enjoyable. Anne and Scar Kitty even decided to spy on my phone, which, of course, meant snapping a picture.
The monsoons have been hitting us nightly, cooling things off a bit, but also making the roads muddy. The yard flooded the night before, but the arid desert sand soaked it up by mid-morning. The rains have helped the weeds—mostly tumbleweeds and yucca with small clumps of grass—grow, which means we’ll have to do the dreaded mowing of the whole grounds soon. On the bright side, the campers stayed dry, and their tents remained undamaged.
That’s life in the New Mexico desert—it’s either hot, windy, or monsoons. Despite the challenges, there’s a unique charm to it that we wouldn’t trade for anything.
