Hot Hot Heat plays the Commodore Ballroom. I was laughing at myself because I still knew all the words to "Naked In The City Again". It's pretty weird to think that after 10 years after bumping to them at a ferry that they are still kicking around as a band.
As always, I still wish they would return to the goddamn "Tokyo Vogue" days already. (It will never happen.)
A Restoration, cleaning and maintenance on a Commodore 64 c. I have used the keys from a broken Commodore Vic=20, to replace some of the original keys of the Commodore 64 c. I used bleach to clean the keys, and an air compressor to blow the keys dry, and remove the dust from the parts. This Commodore 64 c is fully working at this moment. The most photo's of this restoration, are taken with my smartphone in stead of the Nikon D5200. The Commodore 64, the Commodore Vic=20, and the Commodore 64c, have the same keyboard mechanism. Only the color of the keys are different.
Creede, CO (Mineral County)
The Bachelor Loop Historic Tour is a 17-mile drive, on your own, through the historic mining district above Creede. The tour takes you across mine locations from the 1890s and abandoned ghost towns that once rivaled Creede in size. The road weaves its way up through the canyon north of Creede climbing under the ragged cliff sides. (1)
The first mining claims in this location in 1883 were owned by John C. Mackenzie and several companies. During the spring and summer of 1891, the famous Amethyst Vein was discovered and in April 1891, Mackenzie located and staked the "Commodore" claim. The Amethyst Vein follows the base of the cliff to the east of the mine buildings, which are located on the five different levels of the Commodore. "This is one of the greatest silver mines on eath," with ore production spanning from 1891 to ~ 1976. There are almost 200 miles of tunnels and underground workings lying within the mine.

I've had this working Commodore A690 for almost 10 year now. My first intention then was to buy an Amiga 500, I found one (an A500+ actually) which had the CD-ROM drive as a bonus. It's only later that I found out that this extra item was a very rare prototype version of the A570.
