Unfortunately, it's getting harder and harder for me to find a set to match the traditional kind with the influx of the newfangled <a href="http://www.higginsbrothers.com/diabolos.htm">diablos</a> that displease me for no reason other than I think they're kinda silly-looking.<br> <br> Where can I get a traditional set with the wooden sticks and white string before Saturday? (read: ordering online is not an option.)<br> <br> Bonus points for close to/in Westwood or Van Nuys. :) post:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.78010 Thu, 06 Dec 2007 15:42:07 -0800 reebear diablo chineseyoyo http://ask.metafilter.com/78010/Where-to-Buy-Chinese-YoYo-String-in-LA#1158936 I can't answer your question, but please note that you are looking for a &quot;diabolo&quot;. It is not spelled like the name of a devil. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.78010-1158936 Thu, 06 Dec 2007 19:56:29 -0800 explosion
