## Notes


Julia didn't do it for me. My guess is that I'm not remotely close to her target audience. I was surprised to read that she's 27; seemed to me like the topics of her songs were more teen/college oriented. Good luck kid!

And as for the main act? Calexico killed it, but I was bummed that the set wasn't any longer. I mean, 80 minutes isn't totally unreasonable, but it was so good that it seemed too short, if that makes any sense. In other words, they picked me up and wrapped me in a dream state that ended all too soon. Maybe I should have made the effort to head back for another go 'round on Wednesday night? Looks like the [setlist](https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/calexico/2018/great-american-music-hall-san-francisco-ca-2beab0ba.html) was at least half different...
