As no one from the organization seems to have posted anything here, I'll do it on their behalf, and hope that people who live in the US Northeast will be interested:http://www.njproghouse.com/product-category/homecoming2015/.

Micky and I have been to both previous editions, and had a wonderful time. Now the organizers are thinking about calling it a day after this year - which, of course, would be a real pity, seen as the US has already lost a lot of festivals, and this small-scale event delivered the goods in spades. In case you're interested in more details about the past editions, you'll find reviews of them on my blog (first link in my sig). Just type "NJ Proghouse Homecoming Weekend" in the search box - and, if you can, attend the event, even for just one day.

Oh, if I can scratch together the dough and some transportation, I could go... I'm going to try and get everything together to go.

And, hey, Tea Club, Moe Tar, Beardfish, Necromonkey? Those bands alone are reason enough to go.

'Young and good-looking in their fashionably bohemian attire, with the McGowan brothers and drummer Joe Rizzolo (a very talented musician with a jazz background) sporting flowing locks that would have looked great in a shampoo commercial'

LOL I could have never come with that Clap

Bad news, unfortunately... The event has been cancelled due to poor ticket sales, as well as Mörglbl's defection because of visa problems. The US live scene seems to be well on its way out.

It is. However, they still have some nice shows lined up for the fall - including Anglagard's only US date in November. If you visit their website, you will be able to subscribe to their mailing list, and get updates on their schedule.

yes and no... prog festivals are on the way out.  The community has fragmented to the point where .. well.. there is no community anymore.  Progday seems the last bastion of that.

However the live scene is alive and well. They are doing what they need to do to survive.. appeal and compete for listeners.. not simply 'prog fan'.

That is a real shame about the cancellation though, I enjoyed the overall setting there almost as much as Progday. It was a trip and weekend I really loved.
