You can get it from a welding supply outfit. They have cryogenic gases. It can be stored at atomospheric pressure but it will boil off till it reaches below -300 F.
Although unless you really need it I wouldn't be playing with it. If you spill it on yourself its going to be a big problem. Cryogenic gases can be dangerous.
Another hazzard with nitrogen is that unlike CO2 there is no warning if you've displaced all the oxygen in a room. You could pass out and sufficate before you realized there was a problem.
I'd leave it alone.

Yes, there is no problem with civilians buying liquid nitrogen. The problem is finding a source because it is not normally sold retail. You might be able to find a company that uses it in their laboratories. They may be willing to part with some of it, particularly if it is for educational purposes.
