"I held out a lead figurine of Hades-the little Mythomagic statue Nico had abandoned when he fled camp last winter.Nico hesitated. "I don't play that game anymore. It's for kids.""It's got four thousand attack power," I coaxed."Five thousand," Nico corrected. "But only if your opponent attacks first."I smiled. "Maybe it's okay to still be a kid once in a while."

Phil Lesh
"Not that there weren't great shows, and not that there wasn't plenty of fine music played. It's just that the consistency and the height of where we could take it, with the help of the audience, was less, I felt, in the '90s."

Magic
