Big Thanks To The Truth

Monday, March 30th, 2009

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. Also I happened to bump into my friend Maureen who works in premium ticket sales, and the Celtics won, so overall it was a great night. FYI, if you’re company hasn’t rented a suite at the Garden for a C’s game yet, Maureen is the girl you want to talk to (shoot me an email and I’ll put you in touch with her).

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.

Paul Pierce Gives Away Celtics Tickets Via Twitter

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

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”.

From @paulpierce34

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.
