Monumental ConFusion 50: A Pictorial Essay by Chris M. Barkley

On January 24-26, Michigan’s longest running sf convention, ConFusion (aptly titled Monumental ConFusion), celebrated its 50th Anniversary at the Sheraton Hotel in Novi, Michigan.

The Creative Guest of Honor was Cincinnati, Ohio based author and musician Stephen Leigh, who, under his own name and the non-de-plume S.L. Farrell has published over fifty short stories and thirty-one novels. Bound To A Single Sun (Astra, 2022), was his most recently published novel. And, most notably, he is a frequent contributor to George R.R. Martin’s acclaimed literary superhero fantasy series, Wild Cards.

The Fan Guest of Honor, Brian Decker, has been a past ConFusion convention chair (2011-2012) and a longtime hotel liaison. Since 2012, he has also served as the President of the Ann Arbor Science Fiction Association. He has also been known to partake in some professional ballroom dancing on the side.

ConFusion 50 was attended by 330 members on site.
