I just bought my glasses today.

I'm sure there are lots of sources for the glasses. Make sure you get legit ISO certified ones so you don't give yourself blind spots on your retinas.

Bought mine from http://www.2017solar.com/free-eclipse-glasses/
4 glasses for $5. They stop taking orders on August 1st so do it today while you are thinking of it.

The eclipse is August 21st and will be visible by everyone in the US to varying degrees assuming the weather cooperates.

Now I just have to figure out how to take pictures. I see pointing your camera directly at the sun will do to the sensor what a magnifying glass will do to ants. Trying to source a cheap camera lens filter. Cheapest I can find is around 20 bucks.
