Interview at Program A while on sub-I at Program B??

So here's the problem, I'm going to be on a sub-I for one of my top programs during the month of October. I have already gotten approval to miss 3 days (they allow a max of 4) to attend ASA 2011. I recently recieved an interview invite for another program (same state, likely rivals) that only listed Oct dates as options. How do I go about managing this? Is it bad form to ask for more days off to go interview at another program while on essentially a month long interview with them? Do I contact the other program and ask to be notified of Nov dates? I don't want to miss the opportunity to interview but at the same time don't want to burn one bridge to cross another.

The politics of these scenarios are killing me ( I know I know, I better learn)

So how did you approach the subject? I assume it has to happen and programs have to expect/accept it but I don't exactly know how to say "hey I'm gonna miss two days visiting another program".

Contact the program and ask if they will be offering any Nov/Dec/Jan dates. It is highly likely they will.
If not, probably not too big of a deal to miss a couple more days. Just make sure you more than make up for it on the days you are there.

Ya I currently am awaiting an email reply to the question about nov dates etc. Figured I'd try to see if I can just get moved into the nov batch before I talk to the sub-I program.

Thanks guys.
