Pretty much what i said in the title. I have an external display coming soon that I want to hook up to my macbook, and I want to run it with the lid closed, but I don't have a USB keyboard and mouse. I do however have a wireless mighty mouse and apple wireless keyboard. Is there any way I can still run the Macbook with the lid closed? thanks!

Yep, just make sure the 'let bluetooth devices wake computer' option under system pref-> bluetooth is checked, lug in the monitor, close the 'book and wait for it to sleep, then wake it by clicking the mouse or tapping the keyboard.
