Learning to Play the Mandolin while Riding a Unicycle

By Queuebot in Blogs & Internet, Music, Sports on May 26, 2010 at 7:52 pm

UCLA design student Matt Manos came up with a unique idea for his thesis: learning to do two things he’s always wanted. Of course, these two things, playing the mandolin and riding a unicyle, seem pretty unrelated, so Manos added a twist. The result, in the form of a progress blog, is Manos’ goal to play the mandolin atop a unicycle.

I want to learn how to ride the unicycle while playing the mandolin.

Whether or not I succeed, I hope this project will be a fun journey for you and me as I use this blog to track my learning process, successes, and (more likely) failures. Enjoy, and stay tuned.

    Honestly, clicking “Neat” is reflexive with a title like that.

    Okay my prediction is a broken mandolin and some bruising of the ass and soul.

    Okay, does he want to learn how to play while riding the unicycle, or learn how to ride while playing?

    This is quite a slap in the face to anybody who has actually created a thesis of any substance.
