A while ago I heard of an event called "Mobile Clubbing" where people gather in a location (in this instance, Liverpool Street Station) at a set time and begin to dance to music they're listening to on their walkman/mp3 player/etc (Video on YouTube.com). Jon Sutton and Matt Iles informed me this kind of event is called a "Flash Mob"...
In modern usage, flash mob describes a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disperse. They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks.

I though it might be interesting to create some kind of Rocky Horror related flash mob, possibly a sing along, to promote the start of the new Rocky Horror Show tour. A certain place and time (preferably near the theatre an hour or two before showtime) for gathering could be advertised on a Rocky Horror fansite to spread the word through the fan community. Those attending the opening performance of the show could possibly recieve information about the event when they recieve their tickets for the show.
With the shows cult status, I feel fans of the show would take to this idea well as it gives the Rocky Horror "Sluts" (as the diehard fans call themselves) a chance to gather in their costumes before the show.
