Music's album No Division. As Friends Rust ended up headlining its own tour and playing a handful of cross-over shows with New Jersey melodic hardcore band Ensign and California melodic hardcore band Ignite. In December 1999, As Friends Rust played Gainesvillefest in Gainesville, Florida. A tour with Syracuse, New York-based metalcore band The August Prophecy and Winter Park, Florida-based metalcore band Dragbody was booked and scheduled for December 1999 to January 2000, but cancelled at the last minute. As Friends Rust had hoped to record a full-length album in late 1999 or early 2000, but was unable to compose enough new material. During the first half of 2000, As Friends Rust went on mini tours with New Jersey hardcore band Fast Times and Washington D.C. hardcore band Good Clean Fun, and also played The Copper Sun Indie Records Winter Festival in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, the Detroit Festival, in Eastpointe, Michigan and Krazy Fest 3 in Louisville, Kentucky. One June 22, 2000, Doghouse Records re-issued The Fists of Time on compact disc, 12" vinyl and digitally under the expanded title The Fists of Time: An Anthology of Short Fiction and Non-Fiction. The Doghouse Records re-issue added the songs "The First Song on the Tape You Make Her" (from the split with Discount) and the Circle Jerks cover "Operation", which had both previously been exclusive to Good Life Recordings and the European market. The Doghouse Records re-issue featured an all-new design and layout by Jason Page, though the CD jewel case spine included a typo in the release title, spelling it as The Fist of Time. With the Doghouse Records re-release, it was announced that all previous As Friends Rust releases on Good Life Recordings would be going out-of-print. The Fists of Time: An Anthology of Short Fiction and Non-Fiction, was an additional release, not counted towards the band's three-release contract with Doghouse Records (which counted As Friends Rust and two full-length albums). As Friends Rust immediately embarked on a four-week tour promoting its two Doghouse Records releases, playing shows across the entire United States with Virginia hardcore band Strike Anywhere, spanning from May 29 to June 30, 2000. The tour included several cross-over shows with Glasseater, Mid Carson July and The Agency (the three of which were on tour together), as well as stops to play such festivals as Mixed Messages in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Pheer Festival, in College Park, Maryland and Hellfest
