With the brand new "Purrari" ready to go, Deadmau5 asked Toronto Mayor Rob Ford on Twitter to see if he'd like to be the next guest on his infamous coffee run video series. Amazingly enough Rob Ford responded within minutes which might mean these two Toronto personalities could be going on a Timmies run very soon:
@deadmau5 The car looks great! Send an email to my Chief of Staff Dan at djacobs@toronto.ca he looks after the scheduling. #purrari2k14
— Mayor Rob Ford (@TOMayorFord) March 31, 2014Please make this happen.
