Destination Turk Street in the TL, our First Lady Maria Shriver is coming to town to celebrate Family Day ("a day to eat dinner with your children"), and in part for "It About WE", some sort of it-takes-a-village altruism awareness program designed "to make [charity] service fun, rewarding and accessible."

In just a few hours at 5:30 p.m. today, well before anyone with a modicum of taste or decency sits down to dine, she will feast with over 300 families of the Tenderloin Community School. Met Blogs claims she will be dining solo without her family, which kind of defeats the purpose of Family Day on her end. She probably doesn't want her kids to, you know, get shot, stabbed, or something fatal like that.

No word on whether or not she'll throw back a few and wait in the never-ending bathroom line at Aunt Charlie's Lounge, but we can only assume that she will.
