David is it?
While I couldn't find a specific thread that is written with an MLPA boycott showing of kayakers and private/public boats, in the soon to be closed southern area of La Jolla, supposedly others have stated in recent posts, that many private boaters who post on bloodydecks.com will be there that day. Also, many kayakers here and on other websites want a good showing on Jan 1, 2012, as an expression of how wrong it is to close these areas.
Like I've said, if it looks like a good turnout, contacting a TV news-station would bode well for all of us, especially with the appeal to the MLPA being filed yesterday (Dec 15, 2011). Let this thread then become the beginning of a list of probable kayakers who will show up. Add your name. If the weather cooperates we might have a worthwhile showing. I think some big names in the sport we so much love, are planning on showing up, some who might have to make a long drive for such. See these posts:

Reading through it, guys like Andy (Iceman), Jim Sammons, etc, will try to make it, as will I. Not sure about Julie, since she may be working. But, for those who have it off without any plans, your presence would be very welcome. And if it looks like a good showing, I'll call all the local news stations myself to try and get them to televise our showing. Whoever is a good spokesman, can be our rep on the water, or at the beach, somebody who will be cool under pressure, even with all the anger and frustration we all are feeling over this. Suggestions?
