Power Outage 

A power outage is a continuation of a power hour. If a power hour is 1 shot of beer every minuted for an hour, a power outage is 1 shot of beer a minute until you drop.
Kieran : Dude, kegger in the dorms today. Power Hour.
Austin : Nah man, century club! 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes!
Will: Pussies. Power outage time.

Power Outage 

A blackout is typically associated with "lights on, no one is home" after a night of consuming large quantities of alcohol. So, a Power Outage surpasses a blackout. It is the next level - "lights are off and no one is home".
Person 1: "Oh man, were you blacked out in this picture? Because it looks like lights are on, but no is home".
Person 2: "No dude, the lights weren't even on."
Person 1: "Oh, so you had a Power Outage!"

power outage baby 

Years ago, the power went out in San Francisco for a long time. Nine months later, there was a certain increase in birthrate. If you were born nine months aftert a power outage, you are a power outage baby.

power outage banter 

Unusual conversation with family, friends or neighbors after loss of electricity following a big storm or natural disaster. Starts innocuously then devolves into random talk driven by nerves.
After the lights went out, I spoke with neighbors I never even met. The power outage banter started with what happened, then ended-up with weird and unrelated topics. Now we just smile a little when we see each other.

When you’re tired but you cannot sleep, or you’ve missed your opportunity to sleep.
Friend: “You need to go to bed it’s late”
You: “I would, but we’re out of a scheduled power outage
