My name is Dana. I work in a bookstore. I love books and art. I live in the city close to workplace. I don't have any kids. I like to get drunk and dance. I would consider going to Oktoberfest. I am afraid of staying in hostels. I'm in need of a lederhosen. I live in Los Angeles. I like to go out to clubs to dance and drink. I enjoy board games. Next week I start a job as a fulltime library position at a university. I won't have much free time after this weekend. I'm living my mom's dream of wanting to be a librarian.
My name is Joe. I'm a librarian. My dad was a librarian. I grew up loving books, largely from my dad's influence. I live in the city. I don't have good sight. I got divorced recently. I haven't found anyone long term.I had not dated in over 7 years. I am currently dating.  My girlfriend doesn't like to go out to clubs; she's a homebody. I enjoy making art. I have a request for an art piece for a show in Germany. I make marble sculptures. I want to go to France soon. I am taking the other speaker to Oktoberfest. I have traveled to over 16 different counties. I have been to Iceland and New Zealand. It's been years since I went out dancing. I have some new art pieces. I like to make sure I have alcohol at my home when I have guests who drink. I play music.
Of all the many countries you've traveled, which is your favorite? I would have to go with Iceland. Reykjavik and the Golden Circle were great. I liked seeing Hallgrimskirkja. Would you ever visit Iceland? I'd love to visit Iceland eventually, but right now I don't know when the next time I'll be able to take some real time off will be.  What's Hallgrimskirkja?  Iceland has such long names for everything. It's this really tall church in the capital. You can ride to the top for a few bucks and get a 360 degree view of the city. Even with my bad eyesight I thought it was beautiful.  Wow, that sound spectacular.  Do you think you'll ever go back to Iceland, or are you more interested in exploring places you haven't visited yet? I would like to visit as many new places as possible first. France is definitely at the top of my list, but Germany is going to be next. Are you ready for Oktoberfest? I still don't have any lederhosen, and with my job at the university library I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get them in time.  I think I'll probably end up celebrating anyway, even if I'm not as festive as I should be.  I'm going to need a party when it comes around.  You can always buy your lederhosen at Oktoberfest so you know they're authentic. Then you'd have a souvenir. You can wear them for every Oktoberfest after that.  That's a great idea--kill two birds with one stone.  Have you been working on your sculpting lately? I have been working hard on that piece for the show in Germany. It has to be a small piece, or it will be difficult to ship. I've mostly been sketching the ideas for it, but haven't started sculpting it yet. What do you think I should make? I think the eagle is one of the symbols of Germany--how about that?  But whatever you end up making, I'd love to see a picture of it when you're done.  Would you send me one? I considered an oversized bratwurst. I don't know if that counts as a symbol of Germany.
