Because the moon will be just tad later than perigee, the shadow of the earth should drown it out in entirety, %100, here in the east coast side of the USA. Also it should be redder at peak than the usual moon eclipse, because of the tighter angles involved. Next will be in 2033, so tonight IS the time to catch it if you can.
I plan to have friends over and get out the telescope, with maybe only a 40mm eyepiece on it. Normally the full moon is a pain in the ass for us amateur astronomer types.
