If there are any BuddyPress theme designers out there, I'm looking to hire someone that can design a comprehensive theme for a WPMU + BBPress + BuddyPress install. It's project#1 in a list of many so could lead to a great relationship :)

My contact info is on my URL.

Also, thanks for posting this info about BuddyPress, and, I like the whole tavern design thing ya got goin' on! :)
