The biggest event of the year in Laguna Niguel, Calif., is coming up on Saturday, but Mayor Robert Ming has a message for those planning to attend: Keep your pants on.

For 30 years, the town has played host to an affair dubbed "Moon Over Amtrak." Crowds line Camino Capistrano, a road that runs along the railroad tracks, and pass the day dropping their trousers every time a train rolls by...

"These people are putting their asses on the line..."

--and the worry is that they're in over thier heads.

Hey, Evening Star! If I recall correctly, you're there in OC too, no?

Is this event where you acquired your screenname?

Enquiring minds want to know. ;-)

The chicks are innocent. The dudes are guilty as hell.

[EveningStar]

Not only have I heard of it, I rode the train by there - but not on the 4th of July.

[EveningStar]

Yes, I do live in OC. No, I’ve never attended the event. :)

[EveningStar]
