Most embarrassing thing you've done in front of a celebrity/band? I'll start....

I got invited backstage to a Papa Roach concert - I did IT/web stuff for a company that got tickets as a perk. Hed PE was there also, which is a cool band btw.

Anyways, the show was in an old converted church, so 'backstage' was upstairs, where they were staying that night. We got introduced to the band, and Jacoby (the lead singers') wife chilled with us too - she told us this crazy story about some girl that was pretending to be her on myspace.

The drummer was recently single, and down to party. He and I downed a large bottle of Grey Goose, mostly ourselves - Jacoby wasn't drinking, and the lead guitarist promised his girlfriend he wouldn't get messed up on the road without her.

I was considerably drunk by this time, and was so touched by his restraint, I began hugging him, crying, and told him how his devotion to his relationship was the kind of thing that makes the world a better place.

I don't remember much after that, other than I do have a clear memory of Jacoby laughing at me for my drunken follies. Oh, and puking on the sidewalk... and the cops being extremely pissed about this because the mayor's wedding celebration was right across the street from where I was vomiting.

TLDR; Papa Roach, Grey Goose, hugs, love, puke.
