Sudden Power (Electrical) Loss

Last night, as I was trying to start off at the signal the car died.
I mean it's not like I didn't depress the clutch right, I saw the speedometer around 5mph.
Anyway, whole power was down. Couldn't get emergency lights on, radio was gone, headlights were dead, no break, nothing.
I had to push the car to the curb which took about 30 secs.
Then it just came up alive with the CD player starting back from 1st track and it looks all normal as I drove to work this morning.
Had anyone experienced this?

Check your fuse box, the underhood one. Gently play with the wire looms and report back to us. I've heard of some connection problems at the fuse box.

Have you added any electrics to the car? Check for shorts to ground on the hot side and bad grounds.

Nothing has been done to the car nor the ground.
It's just regular street I was on.
I'm not having any problem now, though I'll probably speak with the tech when I go in for recall work. Thing is.. I haven't received the letter yet. wonder why....
