There are tours available, but I cannot vouch for any of 'em yet. You can visit his former home & studio. Here's a site we've been scoping out that may assist on this front: http://www.architecture.org/tour_view.aspx?TourID=3 One question I'd like to throw out to the group as well - if we're in town for along weekend and only have time for 2-3 tiki establishments in the Chicago area... which ones should we hit? Tikibars definitely had Hala Kahiki at the top of the list when we asked him at Hukilau, but beyond that we're looking for suggestions. We know we missed out on Vic's, sadly. Cheers, Rupe
