Pittsburgh's own eco fashion innovator *Jonano* to hold Sample Sale Tomorrow Friday 20th

We just recieved an email from Stephanie at Jonano about their sample sale tomorrow. I wanted to share because Jonano is a pretty cool company that has been generating some buzz across the country with their eco-friendly fashions. I learned about Jonano a few years ago and have some of their t-shirts (you can customize some of their bamboo t-shirts at Spreadshirt.com). Jonano also has some great dresses and yoga pants.

Check out the sample sale tomorrow or their entire collection at Jonano.com.

You can RSVP for the sample sale here on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=180216964142&ref=mf

If you are thinking of starting a business here in Pittsburgh there are lots of great groups to check out.  Every other month or so, entrepreurs gather in the morning for Open Cofffee (usually hosted at the Alpha Lab offices on Carson St.).  Some of the Open Coffee folks are getting together for Start Up Drinks.  Kind of like Open Coffee, but now in the evening and with the option of beer.

Last week the Nina and the Pinta sailed into Pittsburgh, well okay not the original ships that Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue with but the reproductions of The Nina and The Pinta. The two ships are docked next to Heinz field until November 15, 2009.
