Local supergiants in the galaxy have been watched by human beings for thousands of years. They are major components in the constellations, but we have not yet measured accurate distances to them. The SIM Lite, the only next generation astrometric mission, can offers unique opportunities to measure the first-ever meaningful parallaxes to a few micro-arcsecond precision for all these bright stars. I have selected 181 potential SIM Lite targets and design a MySQL database to store their parameters, including parallax, radii, effective temperature, metallicity, companion and radial velocity.
