If you’re a longtime reader of our little site, you know that from time to time we’re posted up some excellent footage from local blog Gonzo Chicago.

Well, in case you didn’t know, the man behind Gonzo Chicago is avid Chicago scene supporter, live show documentarian and all around nice guy John Yingling. He loves videotaping shows as much as we love writing about them.

Yingling’s been at the whole video-ing show business on his own for three years. Unfortunately, his equipment is pretty dated. And by pretty I mean really. I’m talking a Dell computer here. And yet he continues to push through and keep recording.

That’s why Yingling’s recent cause of obtaining better recording and editing equipment is such an understandable one, and one that needs to happen if you want him to keep on truckin’. Perhaps the informative short film after the jump will explain more.

Yingling’s Indiegogo Campaign was just launched this past monday and he’s already hit the $490 mark, but that’s well short of his goal of $3,500. I mean just donating anything will get you some sweet, sweet perks like a personalized thank you on a social media station, a T-shirt, personalized short film or even a signed Walkmen vinyl. Just slap your cursor here and donate. It’s that simple.

Anyway, it’s the season of giving (that’s Easter, right?), so be kind, rewind and give to Yingling.
