After the Iowa legislature declared nude dancing illegal in establishments that served liquor, the activity shifted to specialty juice bars that suddenly sprang up in great numbers. The legislature responded by making nude dancing illegal in any establishment holding a sales-tax permit, unless it was an organization "primarily devoted to the arts." A bar promptly renamed itself the "Southern Comfort Free Theater for the Performing Arts." Owners placed sketch pads on tables, held drawing contests, and asked "students" for donations.
