When the Truth joined Twitter, he didn't mess around.

Literally 24 hours after signing up, @paulpierce34 posted the following three messages in reference to Sunday's tilt against the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder:

Change in schedule first 5 fan wit my jersey on at players parkin entrance get tik to todays game

Time to meet is exactly 430 passcode 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

One fan and Tweeter, Michael Chace of Boston, decided to see if it was in fact Paul on Twitter, and ventured down to the arena. His account is posted on his blog:

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 Pierce 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.

Once he was in No. 34's luxury box, Michael took another picture, and after the game posted a thank you to the Truth.

Wow. The Celts put on a great show tonight at the Garden. Best of all, I had the chance to sit in Paul Pierce’s suite, compliments of the Truth himself and Twitter. 

So the game was awesome, Big Baby deserves some Band-Aid endorsement money after the performance he put on, and everyone in the suite had an absolute blast. Just want to give a huge thanks to the Truth, and if you haven’t done so, join Twitter and follow the man immediately.

Later, Paul posted his own message for the fans who showed up:

To all my twitter homies that came to the game hope u enjoyed

Make sure to pay Michael a visit at the original blog post.
