I'm expecting hippies, greenies and other peaceniks in protest.
Other than air-freshener and anti-bacterial wipes, is there anything else I should consider packing?
I kinda wish I owned one of those Greener harpoon guns...

Walk around amongst them. You won't have to fire a shot, but you might cause something funny.

(And someone ought to make a spoof of the Che shirts, but with Barry Goldwater on it instead. If I had a highres of this, I could do it as a halftone...)

I would suggest some a bar of soap on a lanyard. Use the lanyard to make a loop and place the loop & soap over your head. Wear it openly, over the rest of your clothes.
Soap is to hippies what garlic is to vampires. You can never be too careful around either.
Kinda like this:

This has the advantage of being both soap and a religious symbol. Perhaps good for double-duty vs hippies and vampires.

Last, the "Mr T" soap on a rope is sure to keep hippies at the maximum distance:

On a serious note, I'm not sure how unruly the IWC protesters normally get, but the majority of locals, even the greenies, are down with subsistence use (though the mental contradiction between aboriginal rights and save the whales/animals is visible sometimes).
I'm not expecting Euro-level anarchism given the distance to get here and our students having to work for a living and all.

Carry small clear plastic bags of dried parsley. Toss them if Hippies get to close, they will think you are throwing them some weed and will go chasing after it.

No, no...dried poison ivy leaves.

While the thought is admirable, the effect could be fatal to the smoker of poison ivy.

You might try covering a vw micro bus in fur and drive that to the meeting, bonus points if it's seal fur. Also, to really throw a scare into them, tell them that their patchouli oil is made from north slope petrolium oil and due to peak oil they are going to quit making it! A petition to outlaw dreadlocks due to health codes would be great but would probably get you killed.

Those chicks would be all over Che if they met him in person (well, at least back before he was muerto). Especially the one with the commie gun.
Why do you say this? Do you know the models posted are commy types?

And the girl with the Comblock gun is just ugly,
I submit that that depends on what portion of the picture you focus on....

I think he just means that Che was a Mack. And the girl with the Comblock gun is just ugly, so she'll take any man she can get.
I've seen pictures of Che carrying an M1 Carbine. And...heh. I thought the opposite about the pictures. The top one is fine. The lower one needs a nose job.

Well I wouldn't kick either one of them out of bed for eating crackers.
I'd probably make them eat crackers in bed....

I have to say I wouldn't kick either one out of bed, either. Spoon, on the other hand, would probably show them some level of violence...
Some people show a distressing tendency to not share. It's quite sad actually...

I'm a "Hutch" man myself.

Starsky: I've always had a thing for blondes.
