I'm just not sure any excuse as to why I couldn't be at the office for this would be believable.

This isn't a final version demo, either. It's just a display of our progress. So, if I were to go interview on Monday, I imagine they'd just not have the demo meeting.

Just tell the truth. Have a meeting with your boss, thank him for the opportunities and just explain that this is your dream job.

I was in the same situation half a year ago, and I'm 100% glad I was totally honest about it. And like others have said, you don't want to burn down bridges - you never know when old business contacts may come in handy.
