I forgot too but I quick search turned up this:

Gans: Now there's another question you might be able clear up. What was the
origin of the name Ice Nine Publishing?
Trist: That comes from a Kurt Vonnegut novel. Ice nine is a substance, or a
form of water, which once released has the capability of causing all water in
the world to turn to permanent ice, which is an interesting situation.
Gans: Do you have any idea what the reason was that they chose that image
for the publishing of Grateful Dead music?
Trist: I think that's a very poetical image, and the answer is in the poetry
of it. You have to feel what that means to yourself. [Laughs] Okay, I'll
scoot around that one.

It comes from the novel Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. You probably read it and just don't remeber. It is the stuff that will cause all life on earth to end.
