Dunlop picks are fun sometimes. If you do a pick slide it puts two grooves into the side of the pick, then when you go back to playing, the groove gets caught in the string and the pick goes flying across the room like a slingshot.
You've gotta learn to treat picks as disposable & not worry about them.
Like, keep a bunch of different sizes available where you can get to them quickly. If you want to change picks, just toss the one you're using at somebody in the audience and grab another one.
Trying to aim them down girls tops or into peoples drinks is always fun.
The only drag is when some bozo decides to do you a favour and give you back the pick while you're playing. You stand there shouting for them to throw it away and they don't understand so you have to take the pick from them, smile and say thank you, then wait for em to turn away so you can toss it away again.

You can kinda guage how popular you are too. If at the end of the night, the dance floor is covered in your picks, then you know you're not famous enough yet for anybody to bother keeping one as a souvenier.
