Maybe we can take this offline and find a day.

Or you can come to YVR, since your bum schedule is a little more relaxed (though I suspect after being PDT+9, coming back to PDT will make my life a lot easier even if I stop working at noon).
I can, but can't bring by bar setup with me, so Bohemian1 has to host

* Can I earn stay credit on two overlapping stays in one program? Or is this actually a situation where they'd lose my business because there's no point "double dipping", so I might as well pay for a stay in a different program?
Depends on the program. I think most technically say no, but may not prevent it in practice. I once did that with Hilton - got credit for being in HEL on my 14-day rate, also got credit for my one night in STO. But probably better asked in the specific hotel program forum.
