Goldstar (not chili) and $50 theater ticket giveaway
Like any blog, we are occasionally approached by companies promoting their products. Like many bloggers, we don't promote anything we haven't tried or wouldn't use. But occasionally a service comes along that really aligns with our goal of re-adventuring Cincinnati, and such was the case with Goldstar.com. (Not... chili.)
Goldstar is a StubHub-type site for theater tickets-- cut-rate prices for seats that venues like Music Hall or the Aronoff Center would rather see full (for less cash) than empty (for zilch). Goldstar gave me a $50 gift certificate to try it out, and I managed to finagle another $50 certificate to give away here. (Maybe you could use it to see Ovo, nudge nudge?)
I used my certificate to purchase tickets for the May Festival's Revealing show. There were quite a few other shows that looked good (Drowsy Chaperone, Shrek the Musical...), but we're long overdue for a trip to Music Hall, and I've never attended any May Festival events. (For shame!)
You have to go in understanding that you're not buying front-row seats. Ours ended up in Orchestra C-- I prefer to be closer for a visual performance, but for an orchestra performance this is perfectly acceptable to me. Just be sure to check the seating availability when you're considering various shows.
The other watch-out: service fees. I paid $6 per ticket, which-- for $27 tickets-- is noticeable. Still, $66 (or $16!) is a good price for May Festival tickets (previously $54 each).
I enjoyed the rest of my experience. The interface is packed with ways to stay up-to-date with deals, including alerts when more tickets become available for a specific show and for when reviews are posted. I see this as a good resource for three things: 1) exploring new venues, 2) keeping updated on what's new, and 3) scoring some deals on higher-priced concerts and performances you normally couldn't afford to go to.
I also think it's great that Goldstar is even catering to Cincinnati. I feel as though many services put our city on the bottom of the list, but maybe Goldstar recognized what a great arts and theater culture we have in the Queen City.
So who would like to explore Goldstar.com for themselves? I have one beefy $50 gift certificate to give away. To enter, leave a comment here and tell me which show you'd like to see from Goldstar's list. Our winner will be chosen at random on Monday!

J-Ride Pedicabs: Answers to your questions!
Good morning! J-Ride has taken the time to answer all of your pedicab-related questions. I will announce the contest winners tomorrow morning; for now, read up on the possibilities that pedicabs bring to Cincinnati!
Can a pedicab be called, like car service, or does it have to be hailed, like a taxi?
A pedicab can be called to book a tour/ride anytime (513-702-7656). They can also be hailed down like a taxi. We stand on busier nights at hotels, taxi cab stands and by the Purple People Bridge (especially during game days!)
We want people to understand and take advantage of the service being offered. We cater to people trying to get a block away or ten blocks away....we can take you from downtown to Newport/Bellevue and soon Covington (once the bridge opens up!).
Short rides (1-3 blocks) are usually free depending on the event-- just take care of your driver, they work hard!
Will J-Ride pick you up at your house? And if so, how big an area do they cover?
We do pick you up at your house/restaurant/bar/show, pretty much anywhere you can think of as long as you are in the downtown, Newport or Bellevue area!
We are also able to be booked out for events/parties/conventions within those areas and also outside of the cities....we transport the cabs to suburbs frequently for holiday events!
Does J-Ride have a stand area like the taxis on 5th?
You can always catch a taxi when they are available by either calling the dispatcher @ 513-702-7656 or by hailing one down on the street, on 7th, by Via Vite and other locations depending on the events in town... give us a call or shoot us an e-mail if you ever need a ride. info@j-rides.com
Can the taxi pick up in KY?
J-Ride can pick you up anywhere in Newport, Bellevue or downtown Cincinnati.
Is sitting on laps allowed in order to fit more people, for example, me, my wife, and our two daughters?
Sitting on laps is allowed if it is comfortable for you. Each cab sits 2-3 people, 850 pounds. You are legally allowed to lap up and we also have seatbelts.
How much do the fares cost? Does it depend on distance? Is tipping encouraged?
Fares vary. If it is a short distance (2 or 3 blocks) it is free. Just tip your driver! They make their money off of tips so tipping is very much encouraged.
We also have 6 different tours. Check the website out www.j-rides.com for the options.
1/2 hour is 25 dollars; 45 min is 40 dollars; 1 hr is 55 dollars. Tip is not included in those prices. You can tip accordingly to your experience and what you think that driver's work was worth and how entertaining they were!
A trip from downtown to Newport, KY over the Purple People Bridge can be 15-20 dollars.
Fares also vary on how many cabs are used and how many people. Always ask your driver how much prior.
How late do you run on week nights/weekends?
Starting in November, we will be running Monday-Friday 10:30 AM-3:30 PM and Friday/Saturday nights until 3 AM. We are out on every sporting event/any big event such as Oktoberfest or Holiday Events. Tours and rides can be arranged a few hours beforehand on hours that we are not running, such as Sundays. If you need a ride, we will accomodate you. We are here to make transportation a more convenient/fun and to stay connected to surrounding cities and OTR.
What sort of requirements are there to be a driver, and are you hiring?
We are always hiring. Requirements are 21+/physically good shape/no previous record and reliable. There are a few steps to the hiring process and we provide training. If interested, please contact info@j-rides.com.
How many cabs do you normally have out on a given day/night? And what are the "restrictions" to downtown? Like do you go as far as Findlay Market, or where do you draw the line?
There is always at least one cab running during the weeknights and weekdays, and at least three on the weekends. We will go in the vicinity of Findlay Market, but not too much further north of Findlay. Just check with your driver beforehand if you are unsure!
Thanks everyone for the questions! For further inquiries contact info@j-rides.com/ www.j-rides.com or 513-702-7656. You can follow us on Twitter @jridecabs or Facebook us: http://www.facebook.com/#!/Jrides
We are available for holiday events/conventions/dates/tours/weddings. we decorate the cabs accordingly and to your specifications. Please contact us for a quote. info@j-rides.com
If you see a J-Ride don't be afraid to jump on one and take a ride, we are here to serve you!

J-Ride giveaway reminder!
Our contest will be closing at 5pm tomorrow. If you'd like to win one of three free $5 J-Ride vouchers (and your odds are pretty good right now!), hop over to this post and ask any question about pedicabs!
J-Ride Pedicabs: Giveaway!
First off, some news: Maya sent us a picture of a pedicab in Cincinnati, so we have a $5 voucher for her! Maya's snapshot:
After we ran that quick little contest, the good people of J-Ride Pedicabs, Beatrice and Jared, reached out to us. They offered us a free ride and a chance to talk about their biz, and I also purchased a few more $5 vouchers from them to give away (more on that momentarily).
When Dan and I, temporarily car-less, needed to get to Falcon Theater in Newport, I thought it'd be a perfect opportunity to try out J-Ride. Jared met us at Fountain Square and we spent the next 20 minutes prattling on about pedicabs, progress in Cincinnati, and how frakkin' many people feel the need to make the same comment to Jared: "Yer really getting yer exercise, aren't ya?"
Jared was great, and he allowed me chatter away about what pedicabs could mean to the big picture of transportation in Cincinnati (especially in conjunction with the streetcar). He informed me about a handful of things that surprised me about their business, too. (For instance, did you notice from my photos that pedicabs are allowed on the Purple People Bridge?)
...Which brings me to our giveaway! I learned a great many things about pedicabs during our tour with Jared, but I'd like to know what questions you have about J-Ride's service in Cincinnati. Here's how our giveaway will work:
1. Leave a comment with a question-- any question, no matter how absurd-- about pedicabs. (Questions that someone else has already asked will not count.)
2. On Friday our contest will close, and then J-Ride's own Beatrice will answer those questions for you. I'll post all the responses next week.
3. We will randomly select three of the questions and give out $5 J-Ride vouchers to those commenters.
So, what would you like to know?

J-Ride Pedicabs: Contest!
I fell in love with pedicabs-- tiny taxis powered by people on bikes-- in both Austin and San Diego. Dan and I have talked at length about what a perfect addition pedicabs would be to Cincinnati, since just about anywhere you'd need to go is within a quick bike trip.
It sounds as though we are getting our own pedicab service: J-Ride!
Since it sounds too good to be true: the first person to send me a snapshop of a pedicab on the street will earn bike fare for a trip!
Linchpin giveaway winner
Our Linchpin giveaway winner is Kelly! Random.org liked the number 8 tonight.I don't know Kelly at all, or how to get in contact with her! Kelly, if you could please email us at blog@cincinnatireadventure.com, we will drop your copy of Linchpin in the mail post-haste. I hope you'll let us know what you think!
reminder - Linchpin giveaway
Just a reminder about our Linchpin giveaway - enter by commenting on the original blog post!We'll be randomly selecting a comment and announcing the winner sometime next week!
Linchpin giveaway
In one of our most popular posts, I reviewed a book called Linchpin and talked about how I truly believe Over-the-Rhine is full of people who go above and beyond the call of duty to create art, community and progress.Seth Godin, author of Linchpin, recently sent anyone who purchased an advance copy of his book an additional copy. I've been noodling how best to use this extra copy-- of course, my favorite solution was to give it away on our blog.
I took a lot away from Linchpin and I hope it will end up in a good home. To enter this giveaway, comment on this post and name a book that has meant something to you. (Any book. I don't care if you were 6 years old.) Our winner will be randomly chosen about a week from today and I will mail or hand-deliver the book shortly thereafter.
Good hunting!

Green Dog Café giveaway
Yesterday I mentioned that I really enjoyed Green Dog Cafe, and I am committed to supporting places like Green Dog whenever I can. I love their mission to use locally-grown ingredients and ecologically sensitive practices.
Also their food is delish, so.
I'm going to give away a gift card, and here's my twist: the more comments I get, the more the gift card will be worth. If I can get 5 "votes," I'll buy a $5 gift card. 10 votes, $10. I saw you guys crawl out of the woodwork on Jennifer's awesome guest post, so I know you're out there.
All you need to do it leave a comment on this post, mentioning any local restaurant that you love. I don't care if you duplicate someone else. Each individual who "votes" will bump up the gift card, for a max of $25. (I'm not made of money, people. Green Dog is not sponsoring this, I just love you that much.) I'll have someone besides myself choose a winner, and I'll let you know in a week who will take home the $x gift card!

Cincinnati Unchained, + contest!
Earlier this week, Dojo Blogato wrote a post about BuyCincy's Cincinnati Unchained. It was the first I'd heard of it, though it wasn't the last.
Cincinnati Unchained is an event to draw attention to locally-owned and -operated businesses in the Queen City. As this is a big part of our journey, I wanted to make sure to spread the word here too.
For the event, Dojo is giving away a $5 gift card with the purchase of a $25 card. I'd like to give mine away!
Leave a comment here naming your favorite Cincinnati-based business for a chance to win a $5 gift card to Dojo Gelato. (Okay, $5 isn't much, but it goes a long way at Dojo!)
If you've already left a similar comment on another one of our posts, feel free to duplicate or leave a new answer. With any luck, I'll needle Dojo's Michael Christner into choosing a winner for us in a couple of days!

Winner of the Send Me Something™ contest!
For those of you participating in or following our Send Me Something™ contest, we have a winner!
The winner was chosen at random from the nine comments we received. I wrote each author's name on a piece of paper, folded it up and dropped them into a cigar box. I shook it vigorously and selected one at random while blindfolded and hanging upside down.
And now that the UN elections observers validated our process and results we are pleased to announce that we have a winner.The winner is.... Nathan Driver!
Thanks to everyone who participated, and we'll try to bring more contests this way shortly. Nathan: please contact Erica (redrabbit [at] gmail [dot] com) with the address you'd like us to send your Something to!
