THE DARK KNIGHT EXPERIENCE

WHEELCHAIR STORY

FUNERAL PLANS

1. I would like to be buried in my "Phantom of the Opera" cape.
2. If it's possible for the embalmer, have my left arm propped up, and my fist forming a "thumbs up" and place a sign on the bottom of the casket door, purely visible, that reads, "I'm outta here!"
3. My Superman cape will be drapped over the casket as it's being carried out.
4. The pallbearers will be close friends dressed as The Justice League of America.  And the following members will be: Thom Houghton as The Flash, Louis Teng as The Martian Manhunter, Jill Kocalis Scott as WonderWoman, and Edward Sinson Night as The Batman.
5. As the casket is being taken out, on the overhead speakers, the instrumental crescendo of the "Requiem for Evita" from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical "Evita" must be played.  Confetti must be rigged prior to the service, to come down at this moment.
6. At the service, Bradianne Mowry, a fellow cast member from "Phantom" '09, must sing a song.
7. The two Jonathans (Gomez & Devitto) must say some words and do a Pearl Jam or Stone Temple Pilots song, with Devitto singing and Gomez playing guitar.
8. I would also like Tony Canales, Elijah Cornelius, Del Capelo (or Nicole Ward) and Geore Chavez to say a few words at the service.
9. At the burial, I would like to have a mariachi band of dwarfs do a rendition of "Amazing Grace."
10. Members of N.E.S.T. from Universal Studios, Hollywood must do a salute in their work uniforms. 
11.  It will be decided, among the N.E.S.T. team, which two people will fold the Superman cape and either give it to my mother or whoever my significant other may be.
12.  It will be decided among family, the two choices of what my epitaph will say: a) "Here lies Christopher Bryan Gomez, loving ___ etc. etc.,  ...and why not?"  b) "I'm always around."
13.  The service must be skyped to family and friends in Argentina, Spain, Los Angeles, the Inland Empire, and San Diego areas.
