Re-release
In August 2008, rumors began to spread that the band will be releasing a special edition of the album in 2009 to commemorate the tenth anniversary of its release, including a DVD chronicling the band's history. Initially the rumors were fan reports from the farewell Reggie and the Full Effect tour, when former Get Up Kids keyboardist James Dewees claimed that the band would re-release the album in addition to touring in the spring of 2009. Speculation was fueled further when, in an interview with Mishmash Magazine, Dewees confirmed that he was working on the reunion of "an old band from the 90's and early 2000's".
The re-release was confirmed by a post on the official music blog of The Kansas City Star that confirmed rumors that the band would be performing a reunion tour in 2009. The tour will be in honor of the tenth anniversary of Something to Write Home About, which remains the band's most successful album to date. The article also included quotes from Matt Pryor, who said that Vagrant Records will be re-releasing the album in a special 10th-anniversary edition, including a DVD and photo book. In January 2009, Doghouse Records re-issued the album on black and purple vinyl.
On June 10, 2009, along with announcing their European tour and the first leg of their American tour, the band also announced that the 10th anniversary edition of the album would be released on September 8, 2009.
