Fun With Five Fingers In search of end-of-the-millennium visions tied to something other than comet tails? Turn to Five Fingers Review, which celebrates its 16th installment with a book party for Outward Openings: Millennial Writings Volume II. Contributors set their sights on the meaning and future of the written word as the 20th century closes in the first and most recent volumes of the journal, from Evgenii Bunimorvich and the late Nina Isrenko's collection of modern Russian poets responding to writing from the previous millennium to Peter Weltner's section on memory and remembering and Fanny Howe's compilation "Itinerant Writing." Howe and Weltner are among the featured readers at the party, which bids farewell to departing FFR Editors Thoreau Lovell and John High, welcomes new Editor Jaime Robles, and begins at 7:30 p.m. at Intersection for the Arts, 446 Valencia, S.F. Admission is $2; call 626-2787.
