Remembering Kirk Jones, BattleBots Horse Head Guy

122 masks!!! The order has been placed! See updates for more details.

Kirk Jones, the infamous horse head guy from the 2019 season of BattleBots has sadly passed away. A number of people on the BattleBots subreddit who are at the filming of the current 2021 season would like to memorialize Kirk by bringing a mob of horse heads to the final sessions on September 3 & 4.

All money raised here will go toward purchasing as many Archie McPhee horse head masks as possible and sending them to Las Vegas before the September 3rd filming. Each mask costs $20 plus tax, so the goal amount of $550 should be enough for 25 masks. If we can get even more that would be amazing.

[Edit: We hit $550 in one night, amazing! I'm setting a new goal of $1,100, enough for 50 masks.]

[Edit 2: I have confirmed that Archie McPhee has plenty of masks in stock, and they're giving us a discount, so I am bumping the goal to the level that will get us 100 masks.]

[Edit 3: Well we hit the 100 mask goal, amazing! We can order as many as we want, so please feel free to keep donating the rest of Monday. I'll order as many masks as we can with the funds we get.]

In order to get these there by the 3rd, I will need to close funding by the end of the day on Monday.

I won't be at the filming personally, so I will be coordinating the delivery of masks with someone who is there. If you will be there and you donate enough to buy a mask, I'll make sure you are on the list to receive a mask. 

If you're wondering who the heck I am, I'm just a longtime BattleBots fan who was delighted by Kirk's horse head antics in the 2019 season, and wants to help honor his memory. I have spoken with a friend who works at Archie McPhee who has offered to take care of shipping this order of masks to make sure they get to Vegas on time.
