 		The Tallest Building In The World [Band?]
I'm not sure if this is a game.
http://www.thetallestbuildingintheworld.com/#endOfPage

It's a site for the band The Tallest Building in the World, but it's really amazing. It's the story of a building that never ends, as you go up. It's got some very ARG-ish elements.
I'm stuck on the elevator! ( http://www.thetallestbuildingintheworld.com/towertall.htm#endOfPage )

(The singer of the band owns the site http://www.burningbuilding.com/, which is also amazing. )


Edit: http://www.myspace.com/tallestbuildingintheworld

Check out the myspace page. You have music and...see the friends? Tall world industries? You need to highlight the text on that page.

 		If you don't enter a code to go past the elevator page it takes you to http://www.thetallestbuildingintheworld.com/safe.htm.
Which makes me think that the words in the windows have something to do with it. Maybe it's the number of words?

I found it too.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
On the 'elevator' page, if you highlight the page, hidden text. Click "SECRETS SECRETS SECRETS SECRETS KEPT BY NO ONE KEPT BY NO ONE KEPT BY NO ONE JUST KEPT JUST KEPT JUST KEPT BY NO ONE SECRETS KEPT TIGHT BY NO ONE NO ONE NOW ONE", and follow along.


Not that it matters now, seeing as how the solution's already found.

This looks quite creepy, after reading all the sub-pages before (or after, if you're reading top-to-bottom like a normal website) 'wander'. I seem to be stuck at the upper levels, however, unless 'sleep' is the end.

 		Yes, I'm stuck at 'sleep' too. Hmm...Hopefully, it's not the end.

Unless they update it?

 		Woah, I never noticed that. Hmmm... /roar? /simba?

EDIT: Maybe they're talking about kids movies and stuff...the theme of the page is 'bedtime stories'.

 		yep... did you find anything useful?

This one's funny, it talks about a woman killing her husband after leaving the toilet seat up.

Heck, they have a whole directory....lots of files to sift through.

 		"Finally, a Knife" is a short story pulled from Burning Building. He writes amazing really short stories.

And I'm looking through the images, and there are definitely some I haven't seen. I'm looking for anything 'strange', though.
