Engadget Live L.A. was all about that bass (and some treble)

We've had a great run this year with all our Engadget Live events, taking us to Austin, Seattle, Boston and finally Los Angeles. We packed into the Belasco Theatre in downtown L.A. along with some amazing people and exhibitors -- one who was all about that bass and some...bananas.

G-Project brought all the bass and handed some of its rugged speakers (and those bananas we mentioned earlier) out to lucky attendees. Engadget Live favorite Huawei give away more smartphones. Jaunt showed off the world of Cinematic VR and STEAM Carnival got the locals excited about its upcoming event. To see what else went down, click through the gallery below.

We gave out our remaining supply of t-shirts and beer koozies to the first set of attendees. Who doesn't like free stuff?

<a href="http://controlvr.com/">Control VR</a> is a next-generation wearable technology that turned our guests' hands into intuitive control for PCs, VR and beyond.

What Engadget Live event would be complete without some vaporized alcohol?

Our friends at <a href="http://consumer.huawei.com/us/">Huawei</a> gave out some of its smartphones at every Engadget Live event this year, L.A. being no exception.

More Vaping! (Yes, they're all 21+).

<a href="http://www.jauntvr.com/#about">This company</a> is working on the future of Cinematic VR and showed off what's new at Engadget Live!

<a href="http://gprojectgear.com/">G-Project</a> is a company based in Los Angeles that creates rugged speakers and accessories -- and likes to give out bananas.

Engadget Live attendees got a preview of what's to come at <a href="http://steamcarnival.com/">STEAM Carnival</a>, happening October 25-26 in L.A.

One of the exhibits let you morph your face into that of a celebrity. This attendee is shown here pre-Katy Perry.

We really couldn't move around, there were so many people. Not complaining!

More bananas from G-Project.

<a href="http://www.tylt.com/">Tylt</a> showed off some of its edgy, futuristic assortment of gadgets that make mobile life awesome.

Yes, that's our fearless leader, addressing the legions of fans awaiting him at Engadget Live.

Beer (and other drinks) can make any Engadget event even more fun! Throw a banana in there for even more thrills.

All of our attendees' Tweets and Instagrams, as well as Vines popped up on the glistening Tagboard for all to see.

...This is just so meta.

Here's Jeff, Teresa and Jason, some of the key folks who make up the hardworking team behind Engadget's events.

Now that Engadget Live is behind us until next year, we're gearing up for Engadget Expand in New York City on November 7-8. You'll want to get your free tickets and join us if you're in New York City or you can follow along from our site throughout the weekend.

Also, if the pictures above just weren't enough -- there's more on Flickr, below.
