A Busy Week, Family Time, and Campground Updates
This past week has been a whirlwind. My dad’s health hasn’t been great, so we made the trip to Minnesota to spend some much-needed time with my parents — and to take a little breather along the way.
For our campground guests and community, no worries — **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center** is still open! We’re incredibly fortunate to have a wonderful friend who flew in to help hold down the fort, along with a couple of amazing neighbors keeping an eye on things. Their generosity and support mean the world to us, and we want to say a huge **thank you** to each of them!
Even when life gets hectic, the beauty of the desert and the warmth of our community remind us why we love what we do.

From Car Troubles to Show Time: How We Prepped for Tonight’s Performance Against All Odds!
**Dealing with Challenges While Preparing for Tonight’s Show**
Life has a way of throwing curveballs, and this weekend proved it. Despite unexpected car troubles, we’re determined to make tonight’s Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band show at Juno Brewery unforgettable!
Normally, the day of a show is reserved for relaxation and preparation. But on Friday night, while Brent picked up Anne from work, the car quit, leaving them stranded in town at midnight. I stayed home to keep the heat going, with only our 1984 diesel pickup available. Unfortunately, starting it on a cold night proved challenging, as we avoid plugging it in to save solar power.
Brent tried guiding me through starting it over the phone, but no luck. Thankfully, two kind neighbors came to the rescue, helping Brent and Anne get home around 3 a.m. The issue? A missing belt.
The next morning, a wonderful neighbor helped Brent fix the car while Anne and I performed surgery on Spliff (our Grim Leafer guitarist). During the last show, Spliff rocked out so hard he broke his back! After diligent repairs, both Spliff and the car were ready for action.
A successful test drive gave us confidence, but it left no time to load equipment. Instead of stressing, we decided to handle loading today, even if it’s a bit rushed. With early departure times, late-night shows, and our loyal dogs joining the trip, we’ve had our hands full. Luckily, someone will be staying back at the campground to assist campers while we’re away.
We’re incredibly grateful for our supportive neighbors and their willingness to lend a hand. Challenges like these remind us how important it is to have a strong community.
Despite the hurdles, we’re ready to hit the road and make tonight’s performance unforgettable. If you’re in Albuquerque, join us at Juno Brewery for an evening of music, humor, and animatronic magic!
**See you there!**
