        session.Values["someVal"] = "someValue"
        session.Values["someOtherVal"] = 55

        session.Save(r, w)

        //do something
    }

Important Note:

If you aren't using gorilla/mux, you need to wrap your handlers with context.ClearHandler or else you will leak memory! An easy way to do this is to wrap the top-level mux when calling http.ListenAndServe:
