Our Teatro ZinZanni has a new home, but Sarah Duxbury says that some heavy lifting still needs to be done.
No matter, TZ’s cabaret performers were on hand all smiles yesterday at the news conference* in the “50 Broadway” parking lot near the Embarcadero. This location will be ZinZanni’s new home, if everything works out.
(I’ll tell you, I can’t tell the difference betwixt Gavin Newsom running the Newsom Administration and Ed Lee running the Newsom Adminstration, fundamentally. I mean, Ed Lee is not an impetuous asshole, so that means he behaves better, he tends to show up at these kinds of functions with a smaller entourage and less drama. That’s good, I s’pose…)
Oh, there he is, to the right of the gorgeous Martian(?) lady:

See how this will work? The famous European tent they use will go behind the new building:
All the deets after the jump.
And get over to highly-rated ZinZanni (if you can still get tickets, perhaps on a Wednesday or Thursday) before they shut down on the night of December 31, 2011. It really is quite an experience.
* I didn’t stick around for the Bauer’s “Intelligent” Transportation part of the presser. You know, you really need to work hard at sucking to get a Yelp rating this low.** But Bauer’s is well-connected to SFGov, so there you go, there’s your bidness model.
**Even with the work of shill reviewers avec their bogus five-star ratings…

A naval squadron fron Japan, consisting of two training ships, the Kashima and the Yamagiri, and an escorting destroyer, the Sawayuki, is blowing out of town today after docking at Pier 27 on Sunday.
Check it out here and here at Japan Security Watch.
As the free tours looked on Monday:
If only Tekka Sushi could have as warm a welcome.
Hello Kitteh!
Just what your fantail needs – a flock of Sea Sparrows:
Uh oh, they’re the old kind. Oh well. Hey, what’s the top speed of one of these things, anyway? What’s that, “fairly quick?” O.K.
Leave us depart.
Vaya con Gaia…

Photographer Eric Risberg must have still had the sleepers in his eyes this AM when he captured the new Cunard cruise ship Queen Victoria making her debut in San Francisco. Here’s how she looked going under the Golden Gate Bridge and past Alcatraz.
Look for her at the Pier 35 Cruise Ship Terminal (you know, the one that’s the most expensive to operate on the entire west coast, and that includes Canada, eh?)
How would you like to kill 107 days traveling the world? It would only cost $25k (and up):
Another dreary morn in San Francisco, via stevenseaweed
But here’s how she’ll look in sunny Lahaina, Maui:
And then, after Hawaii, she’ll be off to Cindy, Australia.
Bon Voyage, MSQV!
[UPDATE: And San Francisco’s Mayor was there – read what he had to say about Pier 27 after the jump.

In a move redolent of Michael Schumacher’s opening lap at the 2002 Malaysian Grand Prix, this Bauer’s Worldwide Intelligent Transportation Executive Shuttle managed to cross three lanes of traffic on the 101 to cut off this poor San Francisco taxi driver.
Perhaps Bauers’ drivers get paid by the mile?

And are these slogans really their intellektual propertah?
“Saving the Earth 1 mile at a time”
“Be Clean, Go Green”
Oh dear. Be sure to check out their cheesy website, complete with polar bears, Emperor penguins, and, of course, Hummer H2 stretch limos.
And Bauer, try to use your signals when you’re changing three lanes at a time, when you’re speeding. You don’t want to give the NIMBYs any more ammo, right?

Well here she is, straight outta Fort Lauderdale, Florida via the Panama Canal, “steeped with prestige and elegance,” it’s 965 foot long Celebrity Infinity. Now you’d think that it’d have been nice for her to have stopped at Huatulco, Puerto Vallarta, and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico as originally planned, but worries over the Swine Flu (2500 Americans alone, and counting) put the kibosh on that. Oh well.
Welcome passengers! Please empty your pockets and leave, as so many have done before you. (I keed. I keed because I love.) But seriously, stay as long as you’d like – go AWOL if you want. Just stay away from those darn exploding canisters. And stay away from the Internet that costs 50 cents per minute. Ouch.
A big boat that’s almost too much for our little city to handle:

It looks like the people at KPIX CBS-5 had it right last year when they repeatedly reported on the “parking hustle,” which involves people posing as lot attendants and pocketing some quick cash. Some parkers, such as Shane, get major bummed when they find out later on that they also need to pay the parking lot owner.
Why don’t people pay the actual real attendent? Because there isn’t one on duty in most cases. Why? Because that would cost money. But the folks over at Central Parking have found a way to warn drivers by posting a photo of one of the alleged imposters. How thoughtful.
