Keep Austin Weird

On my way home from Houston this morning I heard something on the radio that shocked me. Austin's own Leslie Cochran, otherwise known as "homeless Leslie" actually used to be a college professor at the University of Texas. YES! Can you believe it? Leslie was also said to have been educated at the school as well. Supposedly back in the day good ol' Les lived the typical American dream, he was a University professor, had a wife and family and lived in a house out in Westlake. It wasn't until the death of his wife that Leslie chose to live the life he lives today, which mainly consists of dressing in women's clothing, hanging out at Bouldin Creek Coffeehouse, walking along 6th street, or even running for mayor. Why would Leslie chose this life you ask? Well when you think about it...the man has his own calendar's and refrigerator magnets, which he gets 15% of profit from...looks like the man is still doing pretty well for himself and his lifestyle is simply his marketing ploy! The man must promote himself right? Way to go Leslie!
