Leslie Cochran, described by the Statesman as “the city’s flesh-flashing, cross-dressing, attention-loving, frequently homeless mascot, unofficial ambassador and sometimes mayoral candidate”, has passed on.
Friend Debbie Russell said that Mayor Lee Leffingwell is expected to declare today to be Leslie Day at today’s Austin City Council meeting and that a march in Cochran’s honor would take place at 7 p.m. on Sixth Street.
I’ll out myself as one of the people who voted for Leslie for mayor, but that was more of a protest vote: Kirk Watson was running without any opposition except Leslie.
