This morning I received an email from a buddy saying that Paul Pierce (@paulpierce34) was now on Twitter and he was going to give away tickets to the first 5 fans to meet him at the player’s entrance of the Garden. The only catch was that you had to be wearing a Paul Pierce jersey, and you had to say the password, which was “Truth”.

aight on my way to arena b there at 430 with my jersey players entrance free tiket to game only got 5 left hurry up passcode is truth

At first I wasn’t going to go, as I figured I’d be standing there with a couple other saps while someone took a picture of us and posted it on Twitter with the caption “Look at these suckers”. Not the case.

When I arrived there was already a group of five fans, which quickly grew to about ten. Almost exactly on the dot at 4:30, a Range Rover with California plates and tinted windows pulled up. The window rolled down and Paul Pierced asked us what the password was. Everyone shouted “Truth” and he started dishing out tickets.

It got slightly chaotic as there was no real line to get a ticket. The crowd just closed in on the Truth and people started reaching out for tickets. Luckily, I was able to score a ticket and will be heading up to the Truth’s suite in about an hour.

So if you were wondering, yes, Paul Pierce is on Twitter.

I don't fucking get it.   I really don’t fucking get it.  Like I said last week Twitter has gone from something I never heard of 2 weeks ago to on the verge of taking over the fucking world now.   And I’m still sitting here with a thumb up my ass yet to join the revolution.    I mean if Paul Pierce is giving away tickets via twitter to tonight’s game then I should at the very least be giving away free t-shirts every now and again.  Although on second thought I don’t want to cause a riot.  I mean imagine the chaos this would cause if people saw the Astrovan rolling down the street with free Straight Cash Homey shirts piled to the roof.  Bitches would get trampled and shit….

PS - I like the way Paul Pierce spells. My kind of guy

- Thanks to Mike for the great tip
