Hi Tony,
Yes, I should have mentioned the overwriting of our templates using the /events folder in your theme, that’s a pretty good way to about it as well! Keep in mind you don’t need to overwrite every file, just the ones you need/want to (in case you weren’t aware of that).
We’ll definitely keep everyone up to date regarding 2.1 via our mailing lists or blog – we’re working hard on it right now!
Once again, don’t hesitate if you have any follow-up questions.
Cheers
Joey
