Chad’s 40th Bday Hillbilly Hootenanny

We laced up our boots, tightened our spurs, strapped on our chaps….and no we weren’t at a Village People reunion concert. We were at Chad’s Hillbilly Hootenanny down at the Urban Saloon.

Located in the roughest, toughest part of Philadelphia(or the beautiful Art Museum/Fairmount neighborhood, however you choose to describe the area), Urban Saloon is where all the cowpoke go to wet their whistles. We At Shutterbooth were absolutely honored to be included at Chad’s western theme birthday party.

Unlike the desolate, gloomy saloons of the Wild West, Chad’s friends and family filled the joint to the brim. Country music was blasting through the speakers, cowgirls were line dancing atop the bar, and thanks to a cowboy boot ice sculpture(which functioned as a shot dispenser), there wasn’t a dry mouth in the house.

We may have even seen a few jars of moonshine circulating through the crowd, but don’t worry we didn’t see nuttin’.

Luckily there were no brawls over a loose card game, no one was challenged to a duel, and from what we saw, everyone had a darn good time celebrating Chad’s big day.
