Coolest mayor in the country - Part II
A lot of folks viewed my initial post about the mayor of San Antonio and his latest sports bet - so I thought I'd update.
This is the Facebook status update from a few days ago:
Mayor Julián Castro (Feb 10):
A couple of months ago, I visited Lanier High School to encourage the students to work hard and aim for college. One of the students in the audience asked if I'd paint my hair yellow if the boys basketball team made it to the playoffs. I said sure. Little did I know. Tonight is the last game of the regular season. Looks like the Voks will make the playoffs, and I'll be going blonde. Glad to celebrate the success of our city's young people. Go Voks!
Here is the update tonight:
Mayor Julián Castro - about an hour ago
I made a promise to a Lanier High School student that if their basketball team made the playoffs, I'd go blonde. So here it is. Looks silly, I know. But, I hope our city's young folks will take two things from this. First, always keep your word. Second, you have an entire community of San Antonians who care about you and will always support your success on the court and in the classroom. Go Voks!
