For our second bout of In-Tents Questioning, we have ourselves a bona fide TV star - Susi Weaser. She also happens to be the editor of Shiny Media’s award-winning girls’ guide to gadgets, Shiny Shiny. This means technology firms give her loads of free stuff, which in turn means she spends large parts of events like this swigging free alcohol and chatting to superstar bodyguards.
1. Kindly tell us your name, age and where you’re from. Now.
Susi. 24. Camden (sort of), London.
2. Which festival have you recently attended?
O2 Wireless.
3. Have you attended this festival before? If yes, how does this year compare?
Yes. Last year I was there on a Saturday, with picnic etc. The weather was better, and it was all a bit more civilised. Last night was messy and moshy. It was great. White Stripes beat Basement Jaxx.

4. Which act gave the best performance, and why?
Only saw the Stripes – I was living it up where there was free booze.
5. If you could have promoted one act on the bill to headline status, who would you choose? Why?
David Gest’s bodyguard.
6. Did your opinion of any acts change radically as a result of their performance?
The White Stripes look good in red. But I kind of new that already. Jack White should become a Chelsea Pensioner.
7. Nicest surprise / biggest disappointment (music-related or otherwise)?
Nicest surprise was the quality of the barbecue. It really was very good. Biggest disappointment – 10,000 people is not enough to not run into ex-boyfriends.
8. What was the best heckle you heard?
“Get off my foot.”
9. Any high-quality onstage banter you feel deserves highlighting?
They’re not really talkers.
10. What was the funniest moment (music-related or otherwise)?
The girl that did my eye makeup made me look like a drag queen. It was very funny.
11. Any moments of sheer terror you’d like to share?
Getting into a fight with the girl behind me was a bit scary. She was a lot bigger than me.
12. Anything you wish you’d left behind?
I didn’t really need to steal one of the plastic flowers
13. Please mark the following elements out of 10, with any comments:
General facilities:
Didn’t use them (I was in the bathroom with Lily Cole).
Crowd / audience:
Very good, except for the girl behind me.
Food and drink value for money:
Pah.
(Ed: Susi loses points for not adhering to the “marks out of ten” rule)
16. Finally – anything else you’d like to mention?
Leonie got her hair cut.

Thanks for taking part in our humble questionnaire. Your place in heaven is assured (assuming you haven’t previously murdered anyone).
