October 11, 2026: A 'Halloween' Train Ride...
This, of course, is just one of a number of attempts at a Halloween Tiger Trains though this one kind of makes it. The most famous or infamous is probably the one that where a bunch of kids came and spray-painted an actual Train engine in Tiger Stripes. Some redditors have already immortalized that one here:

Rather than repeat some act of vandalism this halloween train is an actual work of art documented by [John Greenfield in Chicago Streets Blog](https://chi.streetsblog.org/2020/02/21/riding-the-tiger-whats-up-with-those-wacky-hybrid-orange-and-brown-l-trains). Many of us growing up in the modern era have been fascinated by the orange-and-black monsters that seem to spring up everywhere, at least around this time of year.
So post your favorite rail and train ride songs...
All aboard!
The Magic Sniffer
Deep in the woods of Tennessee there lived a man who claimed he could detect someone’s sex just by smelling them.
Most people in town thought of him as the town soothsayer. Except for one skeptic who had doubts and decided to put him to the test.
He brought him a man, and the blindfolded soothsayer sniffed and said, “that’s a man.”
He brought him a woman, and the blindfolded soothsayer sniffed and said, “that’s a woman.”
Dissatisfied with the results, the skeptic lined up the entire town, and one by one the soothsayer correctly guessed each person’s sex.
The skeptic was convinced he was somehow cheating so he decided to trick him. He shit into his hands and brought it up to the soothsayer’s nose. He took a big sniff and thought for a moment. He sniffed again.
“That’s shit,” he said.
The reason Bands in Town is banned here
I realize this post will be hit by bots and shills defending BIT’s honor but, here is yet another example of why BIT is not a reliable source.
I have tried adding this show for weeks now using the report missing show feature. I have submitted the link to the ticketing page as well as manually entering the date. I have also emailed support directly. I have had no response from any of these attempts and the show has not been added.
This show is now less than a week away and BIT refuses to add it to the app.
Maybe you personally don’t care about this particular artist so this scenario wouldn’t effect you. But, if this is happening with this band, and attempts to get the show added fall on deaf ears, think about how many other artists this is happening to. How many shows might you have missed due to BIT not adding shows even when the information is submitted?
