Andrew Bird's Dec. 20 and 21 concerts at Fourth Presbyterian Church are sold out, but fans of the whistling dandy can still see him in an even more intimate setting.

This morning, Bird announced a Dec. 22 concert at Hideout which will double as a benefit for the charity Rock for Kids. Early bird tickets are already sold out but, as of post time, there are still $100 general admission and $200 VIP tickets (which include a meet-and-greet) still available by clicking here.

We agree with Gapers Block's Anne Holub that anyone complaining about the cost should slow their rolls right now. We know the price is out of the budgets of some, but the proceeds from the concert will fund a special Andrew Bird Scholarship Fund at Rock for Kids. For those of you who can't afford the show, consider buying this poster for the concert designed by Jay Ryan.
