On February 17, 2009, Harvey Pekar made a rare NYC appearance, jam-packing the YIVO Institute for Jewish Studies amphitheater for an interview conducted by comics scholar Danny Fingeroth. To properly document our man and produce some future Pekar Project special goodies, SMITH brought two ringers backstage pre-show, the kookycool Josh McCutchen who covers NYC events on his eponymously named internet TV show and master portrait photographer Seth Kushner.
