WordPress MU

Hi, I can't find where this has been asked before, so I hope y'all don't mind if I ask it. I'm wondering if there's a way to kill off the main MU blog, like I want to set it up on shoutlove.org/blogs/ but I don't want /blogs/ to be a... blog. I'm wondering if it's possible to make a page like the wordpress.com main page with a login section and everything. Thanks!
