First chainlink conference almost 2 years ago was held in a small room next to a bathroom rather than the large auditorium down the hall

There was a pic from the swift presentation with some room that had a toilet in the corner or something like that can't remember exactly.

At the first Sibos in 2017, people posted a map of the convention center and where events would be taking place. The room Sergey was presenting in was located next to the restrooms, and this was used for FUD.

This, it was actually pretty funny for a while

Sergey gave his speech at Sibos 2017 from a toilet next to a small conference room. It was a nice bathroom, but let's be honest—a bathroom is no place to give an inspiring presentation. The excitement over the whole thing was pretty much limited to outrage over a personal janitor brought by the chainlink team (pretty much just Sergey and Rory at the time) who really needed to use the toilet shitting his pants outside of the bathroom, hence the "pee pee poo poo" and "imagine the smell" memes. Sane people laughed about it and moved on.

I was at Sibos 2017, 3rd stall next to the urinals.
Sergey was talking by the sink in front of a mirror.
We were only allowed to interact with the reflection in the mirror while he kept the hand dryers at full blast.
It was really akward to say the least.

I was at the fireside chat this week. At one point Tom called Sergey a sandwich fucker. He even accused Sergey of eating the sandwiches after busting loads into them. There was an intense bit of silence while Sergey glared. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead immediately, and his face was flush. He forced a chuckle into the microphone. Then he walked off stage and just out of the room where there was a magazine rack. He was still in full view of everyone through a window. He starts taking these magazines, two and three at a time, and just tearing them to shreds. Sometimes he would pick one up, and try to twist and tear the whole thing at once, but fail, so then he would start ripping out individual pages. He was facing away from everyone, so we couldn't see his facial expressions. This went on for two minutes at least. At this point I thought he was totally screwed, and that he had just ruined the reputation of chainlink in one fell swoop. However, he turned around and walked back into the room. He looked completely rejuvinated and full of vigor again. He proceeded to completely btfo Tom in every way, acting as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Afterwards, he even did a little q&a session after Tom left due to being frustrated from the btfo. Janitorial services were picking up the mess of shredded magazines at this point, and the only acknowledgement Sergey ever made to the mess was when one of the older janitors fell over while leaning to pick up the pieces. He sort of covered his hand with his mouth, clearly holding back laughter. It was bizarre, but with genius comes inevitable personality quirks.
