How I met robert aragon
i was working on a creative nonfiction piece for a general ed. course at the university. the topic i wanted to explore centered around monster mania, monster kids, monstrosity in art and the collectors of same. i had known of mr. aragon’s first hand experience with all (or most) of the above. i asked one of my closest friends, who was already closely acquainted with mr. aragon, if he might be able to arrange a meeting.
years later, after speaking to him over the phone, i finally won the chance to meet him in person. i no longer had that paper to write but was too nervous to say so and brought my tape recorder anyway. the interview went well, i thought. i’ve been friendly with him since then!
