Shook his hand when he came by. REALLY cool guy.
When we were over by the 99.9 VIRGIN RADIO music booth, a huge crowd of people were dancing and stuff, and my friend said "Hey look, isn't that the mouse-ears guy?"
We look over and I see a slightly disfigured version of the Deadmau5 helmet with green light-up eyes. As we get closer I see no neck tatoos - it's not him.
After like 10 minutes of chilling by there, suddenly people are going nuts - the REAL deadmau5, Joel Zimmerman himself, shows up and borrows the guy's poorly assembled helmet and puts it on. They were joking around for a bit and he shook the guy's hand. He was carrying around his RED camera with some random guy that I didn't recognise.
When he was about to leave I managed to shout out his name ("Joel!") and I walked up to him along the sidewalk. I shook his hand, managed to barely get out a "I'm a huge fan, love your work" kinda thing. He was in a rush though to get to Dundas Square, there was a huge underground exhibit full of crazy neon lights and stuff so he wanted to get footage. Didn't think to snap a photo but I also didn't want to seem like a blatant dimwitted fan.
Very cool guy, super chill and brave to just walk around the streets of Toronto especially on a really busy night. Discuss my magical right hand.
