The problem I see it the attention span is so short as to necessitate a one word or phrase synopsis of something for marketing purposes.
I much prefer the Nevada commission on Tourism’s Campaign. Several of examples to support one message.
Oh yeah, and Reno eNVy is pretty good too. Can do?
Now to find out how to integrate del.isio.us with my wordpress tags…

It’s fitting tho’. I love it. I know so many folks in Seattle that this is a perfect description. If only they could have worked in a reference to pleated khaki Dockers…better yet, Levi will come out with a metroNATURAL Dockers with lots of gadget pockets and made of Organic Hemp/Cotton weave.
Scotty Dunseath’s Reno eNVy is brilliant. In fact I’m wearing a Reno eNVy shirt right now under my suit.

Just because it’s better then Say Wa, doesn’t mean it ‘s good. I agree with you it is a good description, but it’s still lame. Thanks for the props fellas, now if i could just get the tourism board to kick down $300,000.

It’s lame, yes. And real. And perhaps not necessarily brilliant, but clever and I’m hella more proud to own and wear Reno eNVy shirts and hats than I’d ever walk around with e Metronatural T-Shirt.
