			// XPath for event fields

		fmt.Printf("Tickets: %v\n\n", e.TicketUrl)
	}

	// What about Joey Diaz?
	joeyDiaz := &gomedian.Comedian{
		Name: "Joey Diaz",
		Url:  "http://joeydiaz.net/tour/",
		XPath: &gomedian.XPath{
			EventNodes: ".//div[@id='post-entries']//table[@class='gigpress-table upcoming']/tbody/tr",
			Date:       "./td[@class='gigpress-date']",
			TicketUrl:  ".//a[@class='gigpress-tickets-link']/@href",
			VenueName:  "./td[@class='gigpress-venue']",
		},
	}

	joeyDiazEvents, err := joeyDiaz.GetEvents()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	for _, e := range *joeyDiazEvents {
		fmt.Printf("Venue: %v\n", e.VenueName)
		fmt.Printf("Date: %v\n", e.Date)
		fmt.Printf("Tickets: %v\n\n", e.TicketUrl)
	}
}

TODO

I'm thinking gomedian could support an extraction function which does not require XPath. This would make the library more useful to users who are not familiar with XPath. :-)
