It's not posible to fire events in the absence of server nodes

#### Overview of the Issue

i'm running a development cluster with a server and a client. When server goes into an outage I cannot send events anymore. The consul documentation says:

While the details are not important for using events, an understanding of the semantics is useful. The gossip layer will make a best-effort to deliver the event, but there is no guaranteed delivery. Unlike most Consul data, which is replicated using consensus, event data is purely peer-to-peer over gossip. This means it is not persisted and does not have a total ordering. In practice, this means you cannot rely on the order of message delivery. An advantage **however is that events can still be used even in the absence of server nodes or during an outage.**

#### Reproduction Steps

I'm using two laptops to make the nodes independent. When the server laptop node goes to stand by mode, I lost all communication between nodes. In this case I do from client console:

consul event -name=Hi

And get the following response

**Error firing event: Unexpected response code: 500 (No known Consul servers)**

So, is it posible to fire events in the case of no server is running?

Thanks!
