Philip Rogers Jr.
Philip Rogers is a native Mainer and a sometimes powerful wizard. After six years in and around Baltimore studying to become an opera singer, it was time for a change. On February 2nd 2017 at 2:22 am, someone (or something?) in the air conditioning duct of his apartment tapped twice and whispered “Austin, Texas.” By the end of March, the move was complete and the unfathomable tumblers of the great lock had already begun to fall into place; he was on his way.
