                event.getChannel().sendMessage("Hello world! Kitteh's here for cuddles.");
                return;
            }

        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Calling build() starts connecting.
        Client client = Client.builder().nick("Kitteh").serverHost("127.0.0.1").build();
        client.getEventManager().registerEventListener(new Listener());
        client.addChannel("#kicl");
