Wow, that headline is a mouthful.

Seriously, I have a radical idea that I want to throw out there to the regulars and not so regulars on this blog.

The debates over all aspects of the housing market that take place on this blog, especially in the comments, are some of the best out there.

So why don't we all get together for coffee or drinks sometime?

I would welcome the chance to meet some of you and hear your ideas of what you want covered and how. More importantly, you get to meet all the other contributors you have been debating with for months and even years now.

Not that it's limited to those who have posted comments. Anyone who has read the blog and the comments section is welcome to come as well.

Some of my best posts have come from readers who don't show up regularly in the comments, but have emailed me directly with a comment or personal story.

Now we come to the part where my wife Karen, the ultimate event organizer, would know just what to do.

I'm a democratic type of guy, so I will throw it out there for suggestions on times and places to meet.

My general idea was that we would pick a coffee shop, bar or restaurant in Boston or Cambridge that is somewhat centrally located.

Let's give this some lead time, so for starters, how does the week of April 21 look for you?
