Aloha readers,

The Honolulu Advertiser's 150th anniversary is approaching, and we have a community event planned at Honolulu Hale on July 2 to celebrate it. On that date, we'll announce the contents of a new time capsule containing symbols of our history over the past 150 years. We're including readers' ideas in this process.

One of the most popular suggestions for The Advertiser's 150th Anniversary Time Capsule was an Apple iPod. But we can't just bury an empty iPod: Songs from the past 150 years of Hawaiian history will be included, and we'd like to hear your suggestions.

The Advertiser needs your help in picking 150 songs to be downloaded onto this iPod before it's buried for the next 100 years. Join other readers, musicians and our TGIF entertainment writers, Wayne Harada and Derek Paiva, in choosing your favorite songs to include on this artifact from the 21st century in Hawai'i.

Readers who submit suggestions at our Web site will be eligible for a drawing to win an iPod Video, courtesy of CompUSA.

The complete list of songs will be revealed at The Honolulu Advertiser's Community Day, 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 2, at Honolulu Hale. Don't miss it.
