If you are in the path of totality, don't worry about the glasses. In the path of totality, eclipse glasses are only for observing the sun before and after full occlusion. Instead, make a pinhole projector. It's super easy (any thin-walled cardboard box will do).

Then, when you are at full occlusion, you can look directly at the sun to observe the eclipse until full occlusion is over.

My local Ace hardware will be getting glasses in tomorrow, supposedly. Plan B is this improvement on the pinhole projector: http://richardsont.people.cofc.edu/safe_solar_folder/index.h...
