Do you remember that feeling when you were a kid of how excruciatingly long it seemed to take until your next birthday came around? You'd maybe even diligently mark off months, weeks, and days on a calendar, wailing to anyone who would listen how slowwwwwwww time was moving and that you simply could not wait much longer before exploding! Well, that's how the crowd at Seattle's Funhouse club had been feeling, I am sure, since it's been a jaw-dropping 12 years since the great garage-soul combo The Woggles have played in our fair city! The Emerald City was ready for a ramjam, rollickin' rave-up with the Professor Mighty Manfred and Friends and more than got it in the Funhouse's packed hothouse dance floor. In fact, in all the shows I have ever attended, I have never come out afterward so thoroughly drenched as to appear as I had just exited from an extended swim in Lake Washington. Wooooooo!
