I'm thinking about it, although it depends on the weather. Right now, there's too much cloud cover to see anything good, but the weather reports are predicting clear skies around 1-2:00.
Of course, they've been horribly wrong before.

If I can get up at that time I'm going to have my camera and etc ready to go shoot it. Hopefully our cloud cover will lift before then.
Looking at different "how to" sites today this one looked pretty good.

Cloudy here in Seattle too, unfortunately. Though they almost look like they are breaking up a bit. Will see what happens as it starts here at 10:32p.

Looks like I'll have cloud here, but I'm going to stay up and give it a shot anyway. I'll just sleep at work ;)

Might be clear enough here, but probably too much light pollution.

We've got some haze, so no dice here. I was wrong in my previous post about the time. 3:15 am Eastern is the middle of totality. Sorry I misread the article before. I was incorrectly taking when the moon enters the penumbra as the beginning of totality.

Im going to try here in Indiana. We have been slammed with snow tonight, but the weather guy said it should clear up for an hour. It is suppose to be the darkest night in 400+ years.

After seeing some of the shots people on this post are adding i had a question. How many people use a telescope with a f mount adapter? I was thinking of trying something like this but did not want to waste my time if not worth it?

Well, I have some shots from last night. By the time the eclipse was total we had some haze, but you can at least still see the moon's color. I have the same white balance for all of these so you can see the color changing (except the moondog, which is in black and white). The exposure is completely different from the full moon to totality (12-15 stops). It was fun to see stars appear as the moon dimmed and stopped overpowering them.
Moondog from the ice crystals in the air here. Seen at 17mm.
Now the series of moon shots (using a Tamron 70-200 at 200mm on a D7000):
