I would like the videos listed in the sidebar to come up in the main content areas instead of as a popup. Is this do-able?

This isn't currently possible. Someone had asked for a similar feature in the past, but I can't seem to find the discussion. The big issue is that you'd have to somehow tell TubePress where to loaded the embedded player after a thumbnail click. Normally, the embedded player is always found right above the gallery thumbnails (whether it's visible or not). This makes it easy for TubePress to swap it with the video that the user is trying to watch.
Thinking about it, I'm not sure that it would be completely out of the question for you to be able to specify the DOM id of a place that you want to load the embedded player. Perhaps something like
Hope this answers your question.

[tubepress playerLocation="domElement" domElementValue="#somediv"]would do the job. Like I said, this isn't currently implemented. Please feel free to submit a feature request to allow others to vote on the idea.
Hope this answers your question.

Actually I ended up changing the sidebar to link back to the page but calling the specific video so then the video ended up playing above the grid. This did bring up the bug of that appears to happen whenever you directly call a specific video using it's ID and I've put that bug into your reporting system.
