The Maddow meeting when Rachel is out of town assumes campfire formation. (Folks who have asked what happens to the show props may find their answer here. I do a double-take with that Mitt Romney poster daily.)
This might seem weird until it's 4 in the afternoon and you're trying to remember what Rachel said two and half hours ago in the middle of an hour-long meeting. (And no, there is no guy in the 30 Rock parking lot selling hand-labeled bootleg cassette tapes of TRMS meetings.)
