I was in San Diego until early this morning - the Monday morning news showed the protesters using stencils and spraypaint for some of the signs, so it may not be as much of a boost to the printing stores as you thought.
Hopefully the port blockade attempt didn't cause too much of a disruption. The "Occupy" people are not helping their cause with this one IMHO.
