Ha ha! Well, you would have to do it without being noticed. Like "accidently" 
fall into it while holding a concealed knife, have your accomplice cause a 
distraction (i.e. "LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, HERE HE IS....LET'S HEAR IT FOR 
HOWARD DILL!). While people are confused (and possibly frightened), you will 
have extracted the seeds and booked. I have another method which involves an 
extremely well trained monkey, but it would take too long to explain.
Heh heh! Actually, your second idea was probably the best. Just introduce 
yourself, talk about your pumpkin growing experiences, and mention that you 
would like to obtain some of the seeds (possibly in trade for some of your 
own), and get their address if they agree.
