 The goal was $20,000 USD, and was reached with nine hours left in the project on August 16, 2009.It was the first project on Kickstarter to raise that large of an amount and be successful.In early 2010, Five Times August's debut album was re-issued in a two disc set, with disc one containing the original 2001 album and a commentary track while disc two contains acoustic re-imaginings of the songs found on disc one.
