One of the icons of the Keep Austin Weird movement is Leslie Cochran. He is a homeless man that is widely known for wearing cross-dressing outfits and running multiple times for mayor. He was found unconscious at 1am on Aug. 3rd and taken to a hospital where he was diagnosed with a closed head trauma injury. The outlook is not good.

Leslie Cochran reported in critical condition (http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/2009/10/13/1013leslie.html)

When we first moved here we saw an older man walking around with just a thong outside the Schlotzky's in Downtown. We thought it was weird, almost as if we were in Hollywood all over again.

Poor guy, hope he pulls through.
