Larry Elbaum is a wonderful man. Many South Side artists credit him with the revitalization and renaissance that South Side is experiencing today. He owns no property. He rents to no one, and he develops nothing but the hearts and minds of the people who help make Pittsburgh's art scene tick. He is a therapist. Working from his small office on S. 15th St, with Beehive coffee in hand, and sometimes from the Beehive itself, Larry has single handedly rescued thousands of people from themselves. He is the pillar of the community and holds a very diverse and motley crew together.  We love our Larry and as such we beg the citizens of Pittsburgh to come forth and support our friend and his family in their time of need.

Larry Elbaum, respected psychologist from the South Hills, recently contracted a life threatening infection.  He has lost part of his leg and will require extensive long term rehabilitation.  Because he was not adequately covered by health insurance we are organizing the above mentioned concert to help with the mounting expenses. So far, the Beehive has been a repository for donations, and they donated last Wednesday's coffee sales to the family. Good friends have offered to pay to keep his office open as an art gallery during the South Side Summer Street Spectacular (July 10-14). All art is to be donated by Friends of Larry and all proceeds are to benefit Larry Elbaum and Family

Viva Larry!
