Tonight, for the first time in 300+ years. It lasts a few hours, so I'm told, and will peak at 1:45AM.
Total Lunar Eclipse + Solstice!

I think that time you mentioned is time-zone dependent.
I believe that (based on the last, albeit non-official, sources i saw) peak time will last 72 minutes from 2:41 a.m. to 3:53 a.m. EST (11:41 p.m. to 12:53 a.m. PST).
It should also be noted (since this is a globally-accessibly web forum) that this eclipse being referenced is just visible from north america...

That's not quite true. The total eclipse was visible from all of North America. It was also visible in some areas of Central and South America. A partial eclipse was visible in Europe, Western Africa, Australia, Japan, and parts of Asia.
India, Eastern Africa, and most of the Middle East didn't see the eclipse at all.

Stayed up and watched the blood moon until enough cloud cover rolled in to make it disappear- about 2:30AM here in TX.

It was clear out here in west TX and the moon was nice and coppery, though didn't seem as red as some eclipses. I didn't watch the whole thing, but I was out long enough to catch a couple meteors that probably wouldn't have been visible otherwise.
