The Intelligence Group Party

Trend Central’s Intelligence Group (formerly Youth Intelligence) had a party last weekend to thank their trend tipsters, focus group participants, newsletter readers and assorted friends.  The party was held downtown at Lower East Side bar, and there was a raffle and gift bag full of  cool stuff.  I joked to my friends that it was like getting "hipster in a bag", but really it’s interesting to know what is HOT according to the Intelligence Group. Here’s an abbreviated list of the items in the gift bag:

• Jimi wallet
• Aromapod, aromatherapy inhaler
• latest issues of Complex, Vice and Frank magazines
• CDs from The Blue Van, Chin Chin and Maya Azucena
• DVD from alternative comedian Demetri Martin
